UML22 — Unclear which Property has aggregation

Where a diagram has a diamond it is not clear which end has the aggregation metaproperty. This can be discovered but only with a lot of detecetive work. For example 7.3.3 states "An association with aggregationKind = shared differs in notation from binary associations in adding a hollow diamond as a terminal adornment at the aggregate end of the association line. ". Nothing makes sufficiently clear that, for an aggregate property, that the diamond is depicted at the opposite end to the multiplicity and other annotations for that property.
