Summary: Summary: Problem:  The following ConfigurationManagement interfaces inherit
 from Manageable, but do not support attached Document descriptions:
 ProductClass, SpecificationCategory, Specification, ProductComponent,
 ProductFunction.  The descriptive string may be insufficient to 
 document these properly, and may be subject to controlled revision.
 Therefore, these interfaces should be Documentable.  The simplest 
 solution is to change the inheritance from Manageable to ManagedEntity.

Title: Make certain ConfigurationManagement interfaces Documentable

Problem:  The following ConfigurationManagement interfaces inherit
from Manageable, but do not support attached Document descriptions:
ProductClass, SpecificationCategory, Specification, ProductComponent,
ProductFunction.  The descriptive string may be insufficient to 
document these properly, and may be subject to controlled revision.
Therefore, these interfaces should be Documentable.  The simplest 
solution is to change the inheritance from Manageable to
ManagedEntity.
