Summary: Workflow Attributes

Initial Comment:
I'd like to propose two functions:

workflow:get-workflow-attribute($collection as item(), $resourceName as xs:string) as xs:string

and 

workflow:set-workflow-attribute($collection as item(),$resourceName as xs:string, $workflow-value as xs:string) as xs:string

The workflow attribute is a property of a resource that's used for determining where that resource is in its life-cycle. The specific values of the workflow attribute are user defined (the default is the empty string), but such an attribute may have a printing bias (draft, reviewed, published, archived, purged), a pipeline flow bias (input,pipe1,pipe2,pipe3,output) and so on. 

Typically, workflow status is document metadata rather than document data, and as such shouldn't necessarily be a part of the XML structure of collection records by itself.
