I don't want to dismiss the value of purely abstract diagrams that depict what choreographies should look like without getting into details. There is obvious value in doing that. There are also technologies that let you do that (UML, XMI, etc) which are standardized, royalty free and supported by a variety of tools. Is there any value in reinventing UML/XMI capabilities in this working group? What would we be adding to the already existing body of standards? arkin
