SYSML16 — Clarify if the usage of qualified associations is allowed

It seems that the SysML specification wants to exclude the usage of qualified associations. However, it only says that it does not seem to be essential to use them:

"Qualified associations, shown in SysML by an open box at the end of an association path with a property name inside, are a specialized feature of UML that specifies how a property value can represent an identifier of an associated target. This capability, while useful for data modeling, does not seem essential to accomplish any of the SysML requirements for
support of systems engineering." (8.3.1.3, SysML 1.5)

It is still unclear if qualified associations are allowed or not.

Explicitly exclude the usage of qualified associations

Qualified associations are explicitly excluded by the second sentence in clause 8.3.1.3: "Notational and metamodel support for n-ary associations and qualified associations has been excluded from SysML.".
