Actually I don't believe the WFMC's interfaces have quite the same
intent. The CMF interface is intended to do just barely enough to make
arbitrary, dynamic workflow possible in Zope while the WFMC interface is
designed for a more specific definition of workflow. The CMF interface
must be aware of security and the user interface while the WFMC
interface should not.
A better approach would be to create an object (a bridge) that converts
WFMC workflow into CMF workflow, which is in fact what I was hoping
would happen.
I wonder if there is a way to factor the security and lay the workflow
on top of it so that one could use the WFMC interface as is but with
security below. I gather one reason they are convoluted is security
based on actions.
