UML14 — UML RTF 1.4 Issue: Confusing example of sequence diagram

[p 102, notation] An arrow with the arrowhead pointing to an
object symbol within the frame of the diagram maps into a
Stimulus dispatched by a CreateAction

Figure 3-48 [p 100] shows the above for ob1:C1, and ob2:C2, but
with lifelines below each one sending messages (eg, to ob2:C2
and ob4:C4 respectively). Does this mean the constructor of
the object, that is the object creation method, is sending
messages? These objects aren't notated as active, so they
can't send messages on their own. It would be good to explain
this in the above text.
