As I thought - what I meant was, where do workflow states come into
this?  I've implemented a notification scheme similar to your
suggestion.  When an author creates something, they get to select 
users from the roster as part of the object's metadata.  In the
notifySuccess method of the workflow, I check to see if an object's
been edited, and if it has, I iterate over the Notify property,
emailing each member a notification and a link.  It wouldn't be much
harder to add a 'subscribe' interface to the same metadata.  However,
I'm not sure if this is the most scaleable solution...
