Norm, Regarding parallel execution of steps, I am fine with having the language mandate that steps are not to be executed in parallel. I haven't seen so far use cases that are calling for parallel execution, and I feel we would make the language overly complex by addressing the issue of parallel execution at this point. If there is a need, a particular engine can implement an extension to support parallel execution and based on that experience we can revisit the question in a subsequent version of language. This seems to be a fairly self contained issue, so I have created an entry in Bugzilla: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3117 Alex -- Blog (XML, Web apps, Open Source): http://www.orbeon.com/blog/
