[Yanel-dev] Workflow actions when setting initial state

Hi
According to the documentation
http://www.yanel.org/en/documentation/workflow/index.html
one can execute actions during a transition, but it does not seem to be
possible
to execute an action when setting the initial state.
Whereas I would assume it is quite common to execute actions at the very
beginning, e.g. sending notifications
if a new article is created (which could implemented with an EmailAction).
Maybe we could enhance the workflow schema as follows:
<states>
<state id="draft" initial="true"/>
<state id="review"/>
<state id="approved"/>
</states>
by setting the initial attribute to deprecated and instead introduce
something like
<init state="draft">
<action class="org.wyona.yanel.impl.workflow.EmailAction"><group
id="editor"/></action>
</init>
WDYT?
Thanks
Michi
