Issue 4981: Inconsistent style of action semantics sections of updated UML specificatio                                                                                                                             (action-semantics-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Document: OMG Unified Modeling Language Specification (Action Semantics) 
Sections: 2.15 - 2.23 

Description: 
The style of the action semantics sections are not entirely consistent with the other sections in the Semantics chapter, and, to some extent are not even consistent among themselves (compare, for example, the structure of the Composition Actions, Read and Write Actions and Computation Actions chapters). While complete consistency of subsection organization is not necessary, at least the following should be consistent:

o The use of the terms "abstract syntax", "well-formedness rules" and "semantics". 
o The style for presenting descriptions of attributes and associations. 
o The way OCL is presented (e.g., in the UML 1.4 spec, context clauses are used to define additional operations).

Issue: Inconsistent style of the action semantics sections of the
updated UML specification 
Document: OMG Unified Modeling Language Specification (Action
Semantics) 
Sections: 2.15 - 2.23 

Description: 
The style of the action semantics sections are not entirely consistent
with the other sections in the Semantics chapter, and, to some extent
are not even consistent among themselves (compare, for example, the
structure of the Composition Actions, Read and Write Actions and
Computation Actions chapters). While complete consistency of
subsection organization is not necessary, at least the following
should be consistent:

o The use of the terms "abstract syntax", "well-formedness rules" and
"semantics". 
o The style for presenting descriptions of attributes and
associations. 
o The way OCL is presented (e.g., in the UML 1.4 spec, context clauses
are used to define additional operations).
