If the user selects 'cancel', the process designer may want to suggest that he user be asked to confirm that choice.

that is UI.  the task form ui only can do so much.  we can keep adding features till it is as rich as JSF+Facelets+RichFaces...  if it would be added, it should be done in the Facelets form document.  that is where you could reference java script or a new component.

i don't think this info should be added to the process definition itself.

For instance, transitions that you would like to be available to application adminsitrators or administrative tools, but not available to the typical user--I might not want a typical user to revisit a node handling integration 20 times in one hour, but I might want an admin to be able to retry it after the problem has been solved--same thing for some types of cancellation.

same here.  to implement this, we should be looking at configuring the task form transition button in some way.  probably this is already possible in facelets with the use of a simple if tag around the transition button.
