Nature: Revision
Severity: Critical
Summary: The spec says that a choice point symbol on a graphical representation of a transition is not part of any Activity. That’s exactly what I expected, since a choice point is not allowed in an Activity. Then it says, that the symbol maps to a choice Pseudostate and uses the same notation. In other words, the choice point symbol maps to a choice point and uses the choice point symbol. Hm.
What is the difference between a choice point symbol on a transition with textual representation and on a transition with a graphical representation? The same is unclear with state, initial state, merge, and final state symbols. The symbols are the same and mean the same as in normal transitions. The example in figure 14-30 supports this view.  
 
Proposed Res Explain in more detail. If possible add the corresponding Activity Diagram.

Actions taken:
September 27, 2012: received issue
Discussion: 
Maybe following mapping is meant
Activities::DecisionNode to choice Pseudostate symbol
Activities::MergeNode to junction Pseudostate symbol

In this case the Transition in 14-30 would not be a compound Transition.

It would then be helpful to mention how to proceed with other elements of the corresponding Activity Diagram (interruptible regions, fork nodes…). Is there a restriction on the Activities that can be the effect of a Transition?
