Mike,

I am okay with either proposal 1 or 2 below, but I prefer "handler" as a
term instead of "assignee" since the latter is more specific to
hierarchical management in organizations, and Deme is more general
purpose.

How would many agents be assigned to a TaskAssignment item? If you can do
that, why not just allow many agents to be pointed to by a handler field
within the Task?
