Well, OpenWFEru already does it that way. All the expressions have
always been asynchronous, else it's not possible to support long
running [business] processes.

I'm quite busy right now (friend visiting), I will reply with a long
mail later, but in short, all you mentioned is already implemented by
OpenWFEru else I would never have dared calling it a workflow / BPM
engine. I'm quite surprised you didn't already know.
