Severity: Significant
Summary:  Section 15.3.14 Transition 

Figures 395 and 396 use lozenge shapes (a rectangle with rounded ends - the notation for an activity in UML 1.4). However, these are state machine examples and this notation is meaningless in this context.


Resolution: see above, resolved
