I have undertaken to address the metamodel - XPDL issue.
As a jumping off point, I have installed AgilPro and am trying to figure out
how to use it to model the kinds of concepts I am familiar with modeling in
ProEd, (XPDL 1), and will report back here.
Toward this end, I have just finished reading the XPDL 2.0 specification. I
note that it is significantly more elaborate than 1.0. It adds the Pool and
Swimlane elaments, Messages, and includes graphical metadata and a lot of
additional application specifications, to mention a few.
At this point, which version of XPDL are we targeting?

Hi Marc,
It is true, that XPDL 1 is a subset of XPDL 2, but...
On the level of activities and transitions it is very similar, but in terms
of details it is very different. We started Business Studio with XPDL1, and
the hat to nearly completely rewrite it for XPDL2. The compatibility is on
the schema level only; the interpretation is different... unfortunately. Not
many things have changed, but new features changed the way how you model the
processes in XPDL2. Mapping to XPDL1 will be completely different then
mapping to XPDL2.
The XPDL2 introduce a lot of features that allows very seamless mapping
to/from BPMN, without bending the rules and adding proprietary extensions as
it was required in XPDL1. In many terms it will be easier to do mapping
to/from XPDL2 as it is using more similar vocabulary to BPMN and even BPEL.
I can recommend focusing on subset of XPDL2, not on XPDL1, as we had to
throw away a lot of the code for XPDL1 when we moved to XPDL2 in TIBCO.
Regards,
Wojciech
