Issue 6138: Time spec text (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source: NIST (Dr. Conrad Bock, conrad.bock(at)nist.gov)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: The overview of Activity says: "The UML does not provide for the
specification of a time metric, but only describes sequences of
executions.", but UML does have a time model that can be applied to
activities.  Remove sentence.


It also says: "Execution is not instantaneous, but takes place over a
period of time." Seems like activities should be agnostic on this.
Resolution: see above
