Issue 16504: Need to augment stereotyped literal strings with InstanceSpecification metaclass (odm-rtf)
Source: Thematix Partners LLC (Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall, ekendall(at)thematix.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: Literal Strings are not well defined in UML, and tools do not support them well.  In order to be able to use stereotyped literal strings for elements such as URIs, labels, comments, and so forth, the stereotype definitions must include InstanceSpecification as a metaclass in addition to LiteralString in order to get expected behavior from mainstream UML tools.
