ALF — Profile for Resolution of Operations and Signals

[Sridhar Iyengar] 36. Messaging chapter: 'Optional profile for
Resolution of Operations and Signals' May be this section is a carry
over of some earlier work. Since the whole action semantics spec is an
optional compliance point, what is the point of mentioning an additional
optional profile? Is this is a separate compliance point? This is not
called out in the Preface "Compliance Issues". The two stereotyped
Associations - are these derivations of any existing MetaAssociations in
UML 1.x.? If these are not, then these two associations are proposed
changes to UML 1.4 and will change the UML 1.x DTD. Note that in
general profiles are NOT intended to change the UML DTD. If these
stereotyped Associations are expected to be implemented using 'Tagged
Values', then that should be clearly specified - in which case the DTD
does not change.

So we now have an optional profile that is part of the optional Action
Semantics spec? Please clarify the intent and if appropriate mark this
proposed profile package as an additional optional compliance point.
Also this profile is not documented in the same form as other UML
profiles adopted by OMG.
