remember from previous discussions that a common assumption is that
most likely the analyst will work neither at the WSDL level nor at the
BPEL language level, but at an abstract notation level (BPMN and
similar tools). So whether the high level tool translates policies down
to the WSDL level or to the BPEL level might not be that important for
the analyst.
I too remember those discussions. Your point is well taken;
doubtless a richer model of the process and the surrounding services
will be maintained by such tools, but in a non-standard, non-portable
way. I am concentrating on what bare BPEL / WSDL can support,
especially in terms of portability and interoperability (not much point
in having a standard otherwise, eh? :-)
