what file is this? the workflow xml file?

Yeah, I can see developers embeding YCP code in this string later. What is 
extendibility here then?

What value does WkfOrd has?
I still don't see YaST specific stuff being part of the pattern definition.

I have one question, I imagine the use case, you have a mail-server pattern,
