Ulrich,

I encourage you to try out the DCWorkflow product.  Although it's still
in its infancy, it provides a good way to implement everything you
listed.  It is not shipped with CMF yet.  It was developed based on
PTK/CMF community feedback that was remarkably similar to yours.

The feature of binding types to workflow definitions is *specifically*
designed to make sub-workflows and multiple simultaneous workflows
possible... and maybe even easy.

If you disagree, however, just make your own portal_workflow tool.  You
don't even have to change the CMF source.  The binding of type to
workflow is only an assumption that the default portal_workflow makes
and nothing else in CMF depends on it.  Really!
