Looks good. I didn't know, that there is already workflow integrated into 
Lenya, is it?

I've got one hint for you from an i18n perspective:
It's generally bad to construct text which should be displayed this way, 
because it's not easy to translate:
addMenuItem(eventLabel + " " + doctypeLabel, ...);
In english you have: "Publish Article" but in german it's vice versa: "Artikel 
publizieren".

I know that this is not really what you wanted to hear, but every project 
which aims to be used all over the world has to take care about i18n.

BTW, is it currently possible to i18n Lenya? I don't think so ...
