Re: PROV-ISSUE-2: proposal to vote on - process execution in the past

+1 except for the caveat made in the last teleconference, e.g. I might
be modelling what I expect the provenance of something to be in 10
years time, in which case the execution is in the past of an imagined
future, not in the past from now.

So I would qualify the definition to something like:
  "the start of a process execution is always in the past, from the
position of any assertion made about it."

Thanks,
Simon
