Team, Enclosed is the policy object document with a matrix for making a decision. I have filled in the matrix with my impressions from testing. Ideally, we will make a decision as a group based on recommendations and consensus on these factors. If you agree or disagree with the assessments please modify the columns below and send me your feedback or lets discuss on the list. My current recommendation to the team is to implement a BPEL like syntax with some similar constructs, but not support the whole BPEL namespace. In doing this, the keywords will be the same, but will be a part of the CDDLM namespaces. Additionally, I would support policy objects instead of compound objects, as BPEL does not require a strict parent-child hierarchy. Thanks, Stuart
