The idea (old use cases found on "cmf.zope.org") has been that
you can control the method execution by your workflow:

  When the worflow state does not allow the corresponding transition.
  you cannot call the method.

Unfortunately, this is broken in CMF 1.3:

  When the workflow state does not allow the transition, the
  method is called anyway.

I decided to forget about WorkflowMethods after this experience.
