OO instance in container of workflow

[Simon, Tom]

I have a question regarding the wf container and an object instance that is stored in the element of the work flow container.
After the object is instantiated and I update an attribute in the instance I noticed that it is not stored in the attribute field of the wf container.  The key field is transported back to the container and stored in the instance object element but not the other instance attribute that I updated in a task.  When I call this instance in a downstream task, the attribute is used to complete the task.
It is not apparent to me where the object instance is stored.  I expected to see the attribute in the "persistant" container of the workflow.
Can someone explain why the attribute is not available to be viewed in the wf element object.
