1. Use it where you need it, don't where you don't.
2. The Business Transaction level of BPM (not the same as Philip
Goatly's meaning of business transaction) bakes in the relevant
well-developed framework of law, such as it applies to electronic
commerce.  And that level should be fairly easy to use.  So 
is it overkill?  Like everything else, it depends.  It's the basically
the same transaction model as RosettaNet, and they use it for 
domestic transactions.
