Seems like it can, but my problem is the version of Plone we're 
currently at: 2.0.5 and the fact that we've already 
deployed "PlacefulWorkflow" to resolve problem of multiple workflows 
(AlphaFlow doesn't seem to play nice with it, at least from my 
15-minute test).

But thanks for the pointer. AlphaFlow is definitely something I would 
look at in the future. As for my immediate needs unfortunately I'm 
still looking for solution.
