Issue 15079: Ability for a binding connector to be typed (sysml-rtf)
Source: INCOSE (Mr. Sanford A. Friedenthal, safriedenthal(at)gmail.com)
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Significant
Summary: A binding connector used in parametrics should allow for decomposition via association blocks in a similar way that other connectors support decomposition. The specification currently includes a constraint on Block that precludes this as follows:  “The number of ends of a connector owned by a block must be exactly two. (In SysML, a binding connector is not typed by an association, so this constraint is not implied entirely by the preceding constraint.)”
