Exactly, we thought these pieces would be a sort of the bare minimum

to something like SCA and JBI.

Beyond WSDL concepts [1] what information from BPMN/BPEL would you exchange?  As far as I know, neither SCA nor JBI have any concept of steps, let alone more advanced notions of process logic (scopes, conditional logic, parallel flows, links, event handlers, ...). 

Have you considered using WSDL at base model for the interchange?   If so, what is missing/incompatible with what you have in mind?
