Since many applications (including ours) need to store additional app-specific information abouts task instances, another solution is to have handlers on task-create and task-end which write out task instance information to your own data store (cross-referenced by task instance id). You can then implement whatever you want over that data store. I'm not saying that replaces what is already discussed in this thread - it's only an alternative.
