Don't mix models and realization?

Active Endpoints has long experience from process execution environments. In this post, Michael Rowley gives his response to the BPEL vs. BPMN debate. Michael is questioning the relationship between models and its realization. He makes a note about the tiny little details you need to add to your model for making it executable saying - "... and they can’t be fuzzy or imprecise" about the ability to express them in BPMN.

Model-driven design is a hot topic, not just in the BPM space but in all software development domains. Business people have been invited to the round tables when discussing software design, thanks to the modeling approach. Certainly there will be initiatives taking the model too far, but in a couple of years there will probably be a balance between model and realization and we could hopefully work together with a seamless model-to-realization process ;).
