Declarative workflow, then?

I'm very interested, can you elaborate?  As someone who hasn't looked
deeply into any of this, when I hear state machines / choreographies /

prominent web services proponent who dismissed it, saying "you can
call anything workflow"... I didn't find that response too satisfying
;)
