Re: Straw-man Proposal for our mission statement

I agree, the mission statement's focus should be on services w/ a WSDL
definition.

I also find "external systems" confusing here. The assumption to date
in 
this group, and also in WSCI and BPEL4WS, is that the services 
participating in choreography have a WSDL definition. If that is the 
case then choreography describes interaction among web services. If 
there's an external agent involved it is the clients of one or more web

services .. whcih may be what Stanislaw is saying below.
