Sure, nice suggestion.

Maybe we can have transition tables in both places? I like the possibility to have
the whole picture of a workflow in only one interface (if we can't have those
beautiful graphic representations with circles and arrows, let us keep at least the
"global view").

Ok, a kind role filter.

You guys really like the idea of sub-workflows... Well, nothing against them, I just
don't see where they'll be essential. In case of implementing this feature, Michael's
idea above seems very interesting.
