Hi Dan:

Your application specific design patterns seem to be close to
executable patterns in our work (adjusters and visitors).

I left some related notes in:

Comments:

What is a domain-specific design pattern? I think you should
add a definition. You start from system responsibilities.
The patterns are used to carry the system responsibilities.
(What does carry mean here? Patterns = common components?)
Factoring on the system responsibilities gives you design patterns.

At another place: Design pattern = mechanisms with some glue and
a few support compoents.
