Subject:
[sca-bpel] Potential issues

While creating an inlined proposal for issue 52, I
noticed the following 

that I think are bugs:

1) partnerLinkType and partnerRole attributes of sca-bpel:multiReference

are listed as optional in the appendix schema but the pseudo-schema 

lists them as required. I think they should be required. Is that correct?

<mje>They must be required</mje>

2) Nowhere does the spec say that a variable must not have both 

sca-bpel:property='yes' and sca-bpel:multReference. Any reason to allow

both? And if yes, what is the usecase?

<mje>There is no usecase for both to
be present.  A variable is either a reference or

it is a property - never both.  Change
the spec to make these attributes mutually

exclusive</mje>

3) Why is sca-bpel:property a tBoolean? When would anyone every use it

with value of "no" ?

<mje>If it isn't a boolean, what would
you have instead? A value of "no" would

imply that the SCA container would ignore
that variable, just the same as a

variable without @sca-bpel:property </mje>
