So, do you think it would make sense to have the factory generate
multiple algorithms and have the algorithm describe itself like
in Sextante?

As an alternative, we could split out a descriptive object,
ProcessMetadata, and have the factory and the algorithm return it
on demand:

ProcessFactory {
   Process getAlgorithm(String name);
   ProcessDescription describeAlgorithm(String name)
}

Process {
   ...
   ProcessDescription describeAlgorithm();
   ...
}

 From a cursory look it covers decently the WPS metadata, it has
a name and a title, thought it does not have an extensive
description it seems. Same goes for the parameters, no description
but we have name and title.
