Many workflow systems indicate the states in a state engine explicitly
and the content objects are only related to the state object through
say a list.  The content object also points to the state
object(s). Thus a content object can be in mutiple states in mutiple
workflows and a workflow can be pushing mutiple content objects.

Personally I would like to see a workflow system for Zope where the
objects being pushed are any kind of thing including "push" activities
like "ET phone home" on say a pager.
