Re: [mdt-bpmn2.dev] BPMN 2.0 spec inconsistency?

Hi Bob

Table 9.8 says that "The InteractionNode that the Message Flow is connecting from. Of
the types of InteractionNode, only Pools/Participants, Activities, and
Events can be the source of a Message Flow." (effectively the same for target).

Sub-process is an activity, therefore this should be supported. The xml schema for MessageFlow uses QName for source and target ref, so essentially untyped.

Regards
Gary
