Issue - 38 - Directed Activity Graph and block structured

Status: open
Categories: clarification
Date added: 13 Jul 2003
Submitter: Assaf Arkin
Date submitted: 09 July 2003
Document: Specification
Description: The current specification provides a syntax that combines both DAG and 
block structured constructs. This leads to some redundancy, since some 

block structured constructs are not necessary given the alternative way 

to represent them using the <flow> activity and links.

There may be good rationale for supporting such constructs. However, no good rationale has been given in the spec. An explicit description of the rationale for including such redundancy, or the purpose it serves would be helpful in weighing up other changes to the specification.
