[dais-wg] Perhaps useful input to DAIS discussion

[Ian Foster]

It occurs to me that this material might also be of interest to some in 
DAIS-WG, given that the topic of how to handle state has come up again on 
this list.

Note caveats below ...

>In this document, I use a simple example (a skeleton execution service) to

>WS-Transfer, REST, and "state id."

>I haven't sent this earlier because I'd hoped to integrate numerous
