I fully agree.

Moreover, when it comes to dependencies between transactions in a
collaboration, many (if not most) of them will also be between two parties,
because they will be commitment-fulfillment relationships and commitments
are (usually?always?) between two parties.

In other words, many (all?) multi-party collaborations can be resolved to
a group of two-party dialogs.

In still other words, the complexities of workflow models with splits and
joins etc may be avoidable in many cases.
