Remember the name for activities is optional, too. Then, there's no good
reason that other constructs like <onEvent>, <onAlarm>, <copy> and so on
should not have a name, too. The only good reason I can think about that
these constructs does not need a name is they can be uniquely identified by
the position, i.e. <onMessage> element '3' in pick activity 'Pick'.

BPELers,

    I'd like to suggest a minor improvement to WS-BPEL, to help make it
more consistent, and a better language for users & tool developers:

    Add a "name" attribute to <onMessage>.

    All of the other major "nodes" in a BPEL graph have names, which
make them "self documenting" in a very natural way. This also helps make
graphic depictions of a process graph more readable.

    I can't think of a good reason <onMessage> should not have a name. I
also can't think of how introducing this change (at the last minute,
admittedly) would be at all risky. Should I open an issue on this?
Thoughts?

-Ron
