Hi Alex, as discussed in the TC, the current WS-BPEL XML Schema allows
creating valid XML documents that contain root elements other than
<process>.

For example (I dropped the namespace declarations for readability):
   <copy ...>
     <from/>
     <to/>
   </copy>
is a valid WS-BPEL document !!!

It is only necessary to allow <bpel:process> or <bpel:service-ref> as
WS-BPEL root documents, and <bpel:property> and <bpel:propertyAlias> as
WSDL extension elements.

Thomas created a WS-BPEL XML Schema (with about 15 minor modifications
marked THS) that would avoid valid root documents like the one shown above.
   (See attached file: wsbpel_main.xsd)
Please have a look at it. Thanks in advance!!

Kind Regards
DK
