Perhaps the state machine view should have a list of states, each state
having three indented lists: transitions leaving the state, transitions
entering the state, and transitions that stay in the same state.

It is my own observation that there are many ways to model a given
workflow and that each of us might come up with a different way. Since
it is an easy way to model some systems, I think sub-workflows are
important.
