full_desc: On Figure 7 p. 43  of the UML semantics guide,
Template is described as a shared aggregate of its templateParameters,
while Binding (representing an instantiation of a Template) is
described
as a composite aggregate of the actual arguments.

I think it should be the contrary:
A Template should be a composition of its templateParameters (acting
as their namespace)
and a Binding should be a shared aggregate of the actual arguments
(indeed those arguments are probably already included by composition
 in the Namespace that originally defined them, and so can't be part
of another composite).
