Would it be feasable to add some kind of function that could generate a "breadcrumbs" trail object that showed the status of a transaction in the workflow ? I guess it would have to show number of steps in the workflow, what number the current piece is upto?

Just 'cause I'm always stumping for moving workflow over to the taxonomy system, this problem would be trivial with taxonomy_image.module.

Each state (as a term) would get an image showing where it is in the workflow (e.g. a state machine diagram with the current state highlighted).

This would not be auto-generated, but would have to be set up by the admin - however, it would be easy to implement.

the workflow state is accesable via $node, from there a few lines of code you can get the state and workflow name then assigned it into the breadcrumb or whatever.

if you want an image for each state, just code one into your node.tpl.php file or make a module like taxnomy_image. for breadcrumbs, try a new module which implements nodeapi('view'). in any case, not part of core workflow.
