["Wojciech Zurek" <wzurek@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Florian,

The only problem I can see here, is that there is several way of doing the 
same thing in XPDL2.
For example you can invoke a web service directly from the activity (using 
TaskService etc.) or you can use an application that define the web 
service - and invoke an application from the task. And I believe most models 
will have a few such cases (like what is the difference between BPMN's 
Recieve Task and intermediate message event).

The question here is not how to translate XPDL into AgiPro, or other way 
around, that is easy, both models seams to be capable to define and hold 
process definition. But if we want to support roud-trip between those 
models - so if we import and then export model it will look the same. This 
include vendor specyfic extension that should be persisted.
