Honestly, giving WOConditional anything but a boolean would seem like an invitation for disaster. Who's to say what value of an integer or a decimal constitutes true or false? I would add methods to your objects to return a boolean based on what you consider true or false...

Just bumped into a ugly thing: a WOConditional considers a BigDecimal 'false' for values < 1 -- self-evidently, it checks an integer value of the thing.

Just for reference, is that my fault or WO fault? To be quite frank, I cannot find in specifications the exact API contract for this... I've always thought the C rules apply there (i.e., for any numeric value, nonzero equals true), but quite clearly they do not :(

Thanks,
