Issue 6904: Need to specify URI structure (mof-facility-ftf)

Summary: 
isID semantics - the 'may be used' is too weak. I think myself and Joaquin have made the point that we
need to specify the URI structure to get interoperability (and I don't mean the W3C standard - I mean how to construct
the URI from the objects/extents/properties/containers being identified).

This will be addressed by the MOF 2 Facility RFP where it is a specific requirement.

Disposition:	Transferred to MOF2 Facility (now adopted)

Summary:
At MOF 1.4, packages can be related through: 
- import 
- nesting 
- inheritance 
- clustering 
We haven't really addressed this aspect of migration which should be added to Chapter 9. 
Personally I think there's little value in MOF 1.4 nesting and inheritance relationships and they're infrequently used in real metamodels (if people know what they're doing - occasionally people nest packages in UML Profile for MOF without realizing the implications).

In UML2 though we do still have a nesting relationship between packages so should consider the implications in terms of MOF constraints and extents.

Conversely we no longer have clustering (the most useful relationship in MOF 1.4) though we do have merging (with 2 flavors): we need to consider the runtime implications of instantiating a package that merges other packages. Is it the same as clustering?

This will be addressed by the MOF 2 Facility RFP where it is a specific requirement.

Disposition:	Transferred to MOF2 Facility (now adopted)

The diagram on p6 includes URIStore but with incomplete lines.

There is no subsection for it in 6.2.
