Regarding the GetActivitiesStatus response, doesn’t the schema on p.26 of http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.108.pdf 
mandate that the status MUST be an attribute? 

<xsd:simpleType name="ActivityStateEnumeration">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="Pending"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Running"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Cancelled"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Failed"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Finished"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:complexType name="ActivityStatusType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="state" type="bes-factory:ActivityStateEnumeration" use="required"/>
<xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
</xsd:complexType>

So isn’t the example on page 40 wrong?
