Issue 8067: Section is badly worded and does not make a lot of sense (uml2-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: Section is badly worded and does not make a lot of sense. I interpreted it as "Often an informal convention is used to show (a part of) a construct, e.g., the name of a class should be centered and in bold."

Resolution: 
Revised Text: Replace the first sentence of section 8.2.9:
Often is an informal convention how to show (a part of) a construct, like the name
of a class should be centered and in bold.
With the sentence:
Often non-normative conventions are used in representing some part of a model.
For example, one such convention is to always have the name of a class in bold
and centered within the class rectangle.
