Nature: Clarification

Subject: Clarify wording on executable activity nodes


In the Activities chapter, an action "is an executable activity node
that is the fundamental unit of executable functionality in an activity,
as opposed to control and data flow among actions."  Aren't control and
data flow required to execute an action?  The clause after the comma
should be removed, and perhaps replaced with a sentence saying actions
are used with control/data flow.

Resolution: see above
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
August 30, 2003: received issue
March 8, 2005: closed issue
Discussion: 
In the Description section of Action, p 280, clarify the first sentence by replacing it with:
"An action is an executable activity node that is the fundamental unit of
executable functionality in an an activity. Actions are coordinated by control and
data flow."
