Hi Alex, both the jBPM Web Designer and the Signavio editor use the core Oryx 
technology. The Signavio version is AFAIK not open-source and is completely 
maintained by their developers whereas the jBPM Web Designer is open-source and 
is based off an Oryx fork from Intalio. 

Each runtime implementation, that being for example Activiti, or jBPM is going 
to have some hooks for extension elements and attributes. The BPMN2 
specification fully allows for that. Custom workitems is something that has 
been in jBPM for a long time. The implementation requires you to specify the 
TaskName attribute so that it can associate it with the configured workitem 
handler impls at runtime. The jBPM tooling support, that being in Eclipse or 
web-based makes creations of workitems easier, something that the Signavio 
editor may not do (nor has the reason to do really).

Also, I do not know what parser the Signavio editor uses for creating BPMN2 
processes, nor if it  follows the spec or not, so I cannot say more on that. 
The jBPM Web Designer uses eclipse.bpmn2 API which is also open-source to 
marshall/unmarshall BPMN2. We have frequent releases and everyone interested is 
more than welcome to contribute to the project (let me know if you are  :)  ).

Hope this helps.
