One of the interesting tidbits from yesterday's briefing was that Oracle is going to converge the BPM and BPEL runtimes into a single business process engine that can execute both BPEL and BPMN2.0. They've positioned BPEL as the tool for system level integration, while process level integration will be focused on Oracle BPM. To me this means that the human workflow components of BPEL may be phased out. What I've heard from the Zirous folks that have used BPM is that it has superior human workflow capabilities.

There are no human workflow components in the BPEL standard.
Right, Oracle BPEL has a Human Workflow service which can be used to route tasks to. This is done not as an extension to BPEL but as a standalone service with can be referenced from a BPEL process. The development tool makes this seamless.
