I came *this* close to doing this sort of thing for the last webapp I
did, a survey tool, but the design put all the pages in a linear
sequence and I just couldn't bring myself to add StateML in to the mix
:).

I have so many things I want to do with this: getting a dia-based editor
or an SVG based editor is a prime goal (I'm not wed to dia or SVG, but
the former I know a little bit about the source code of and the latter
is sexy and can be run-in-browser w/ a plugin).  Using it for Workflow
apps, etc. is also a possibility, but need clients needing these things,
I'm afraid.

This is an XML SAX processing framework, nothing to do with state machines I'm
afraid.  I do have another distribution (not on CPAN, let me know if you want a
copy) in the StateML:: namespace that takes an XML definition for a state
machine and uses it, via TT2, to generate any kind of source code (we use it
for gnu and embedded C compilers here).  It also generates pretty diagrams
using GraphViz.

There are some state machine modules in CPAN already, under the 
prefix DFA:: for Discrete Finite Automata. Do we really need a 
separate prefix StateMachine:: for this?

For the record, DFA was suggested to me when I asked for module name 
suggestions, because it (DFA) was already in use when I wanted to 
submit my module.
