Re: Proposal for issue 3103 - choice

Hi Monica

Good point - I should have added text to indicate that this would be a 
runtime exception. Perhaps this could be discussed and added to the 
proposal on the call tomorrow.

I don't think this would be a problem with an implicit choice, as one of 
a set of events would need to occur as outlined by the different choice 
paths. The main reason for the change is otherwise it is unclear in some 
situations whether the choice should be considered an optional activity, 
due to a subsequent activity (e.g. interaction) occurring or whether in 
fact that is illegal. By enforcing the fact that a choice path must 
occur, then the occurrance of a subsequent interaction following the 
choice would definitely indicate an illegal interaction.

Regards
Gary
