    Document: UML Profile and Interchange Models for EAI
    Section: 6.3.11.3.1 (EAIRequestFormat)

    Description:
    Section 6.3.11.3.1 defines a "specifiedReplyTerminal" derived association (Figure 6-24) for an EAIRequestFormat that "...specifies a terminal to which replies should be sent." However, this information is not part of the specification of a request message, but it is part of the dynamic state of a request message, since it cannot be determined until that request message is actually created. As a metaclass, an instance of EAIRequestFormat is NOT a request message, but is rather a SPECIFICATION of a request message, and therefore should not include the state of the message itself.

    Recommendation:
    Include the discussion of the identification of reply terminals as part of the semantics of an EAIRequestFormat, not the syntax. Remove the "specifiedReplyTerminal"
