FWIW (bikeshed) - in my experience with business-analysts and other non-Java-heads, people informally use the term "Process" to refer to a Definition more often than they use it to refer to an Instance.  When we talk about, say, "designing a business process", we're clearly talking about a definition, not an instance.  This is an odd case where English has a word for the definition, but not for instances of that definition.  So "Process" doesn't obviously mean "Process Instance".
