Looks good.
Well spotted re 5731.

Regarding 5731: please see also 4455.

There, we read "The concept of Method no longer exists as a metaclass in UML 2.0 ..."
But 5731 tells us "In UML 2.0, Method is modeled differently than in 1.x ..."

There is at least an editorial error there, if only in the capitalization of 'method' in 5731.

I suggest, for both: 

    Method is no longer a metaclass in UML 2.0 ...  

.............................................

If that is indeed the case, we have some OCL to fix, for example at 5.3.31 ReadSelfAction.  And may have some text to fix, for example, at 5.3.1 AcceptCallAction.
I'll leave it to the action not-a-language folks to file issues with proposed resolutions.

There may also be problems in UML 2 Activity, for example at 6.4 Activity  Constraints  Operations
I'll leave those to the Activity authors.

And the EJB experts will want to look at Appendix C

...

I hope folks don't mind being so careful with words as my comment above:  "There is at least an editorial error there, if only in the capitalization of 'method' in the disposition of 5731."


Cordially,

Joaquin
