Issue 18715: Clarify that stereotypes can be applied to UML DI (uml25-ftf)
Source: NIST (Mr. Conrad Bock, conrad.bock(at)nist.gov)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: [From Ed S in http://www.omg.org/archives/uml25-ftf/msg00357.html] Perhaps we can clarify this by simply adding some text to Annex B explicitly saying that stereotypes can be applied to UML DI elements and that a conforming tool is to interpret such stereotype application per 12.3.3 -- that is, with the MOF equivalent semantics and XMI serialization. This would simply become part of the requirement for UML diagram interchange conformance. It seems like a useful capability to me.
