basically that's what I am saying, yes. The BPEL standard says that you can
assign an XSD element to an XSD element (of a compatible element), or an
XSD type to an XSD type (of a compatible type) or a
WSDL message to a WSDL
message (of a compatible message).
Some engine implementations allow also assignments of an XSD element to an
XSD type (or vice versa) if and only if the XSD type behind the element is
compatible to the XSD type ... but that is an implementation detail and as
far as I know not explicitly specified in the BPEL standard, so I would not
rely on that
[XSD elements have a qualified name, too, and compatibility for an element
means the qnames of both elements are equal, not necessarily that the XSD
types behind the elements are compatible]
