This will always be *the* place to think out loud about Commons SCXML ;-)

All this looks interesting, the question really is:

 * What are you proposing?

Which expands to questions such as:

 * What markup is that?
 * Who consumes it? i.e. How does this integrate with what we have?
 * What benefit does it bring, as compared to writing a SCXMLUnit
(JUnit with helpers for Commons SCXML) test case to a similar effect?

Lets articulate that.
