This is a very interesting discussion guys! I like the svg approach of rendering the image, it is a lot cleaner than saving the image with the process. What about the performance though? Do you perform this xslt transformation to svg on the fly each time before rendering? Doesn't that take a lot of time? 

As for the 'g' attribute, this looks like it does because it has always been our focus to keep the jpdl xml concise and readable. As you might know the graphical info even used to be in another file in jBPM 3, with other drawbacks. Even if it would be advisable, it would be very difficult to split the 'g' attribute at this time because of backward compatibility issues and complications with the tools. We will be moving towards BPMN2 anyway for the next generation of jBPM (jBPM 5) and that standard is focused on diagrams and interchange of them. 

In the meantime, feel free to continue to suggest and contribute jBPM 4 improvements.

Cheers,
Koen
