I agree that business process is key as a problem domain. We are talking
about the specific technology of choreography specifications. I do not
feel that these are proper *technical solutions* to the *business
problem* of business process description. Merely correlating client and
server states in a state machine only solves the part of the problem
that you *cause* if you refuse to make those states explicit on the wire
and in URI-addressable resources. If you design the service so that
states are explicit and addressable then you are freed to concentrate on
the larger problems (as it seems EDOC is).
