Cool.

Very cool. I believe the SVG rendering may become the most challenging
part. To fully support BPEL you'd need to also consider <flow>+<links>
constructs with can express directed acyclic graphs. This is most likely
a bit tricky to layout as it mixes blocks and graphs. But it would be
awesome to have such a view it in Ode. In case you need a GSOC mentor,
don't hesitate to ask.

Best,
