| Funny, this latter remark is a 180 degree turn from what was initially the idea. Making one jpdl file with process and graphical info in it instead of having to keep two files in sync. The 'general extension machanism' is using good extensionpoints in the xsd.
i wouldn't consider this a 180 degrees turn :-)
but if i understand you correct, you do have a point: we could as well leave the 'g' attributes out of the specified schema and leave it up the the designer to add this as one of the anyAttributes.
that is something we did not consider yet. and at first thought it makes sense to me as then the g attribute won't be offered in code completions to developers writing xml by hand.
what do you think of that, Koen ?

| No, since it does not say where the other info is going....
The only other info that we consider inside the scope of what we target might be color (although definitely not in the first releases). And we concluded that can always be encoded within the text field as only the designer has to manage it.
