Issue 17999: Location: p. 336 Compound transitions - Run-to-completion Paradigm (uml25-ftf)
Source: International Business Machines (Mr. Omar Badreddin, oobahy(at)gmail.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Minor
Summary: It should be stated that a do-activity is the exception here. Also, code within the do activity should be prevented from updating the state machine configurations or firing of events (directly or indirectly).
Resolution: 
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
September 27, 2012: received issue
Discussion: 
The proposed limitation appears overly strong. While changing the state machine configuration above the current state perhaps should be forbidden, it seems over-limiting to completely forbidding the raising of additional events. Some modeling approaches have the do/activity equivalent to a lower-level state machines. Anything that could be done there, except perhaps direct transition to outside the parents state should be allowed.
