UML22 — PackageMerge relationships

The way the PackageMerge relatrionships are used in the specification doesn't seem to be rigorous or, at least, are not clear. For instance: * §7.3.7 indicates that the "Class" from Kernel metaclass is a specialization of “Classifier (from Kernel, Dependencies, PowerTypes)”. That is not correct if you refere to the corresponding package diagram: "Class" from Kernel doesn't inherit from Dependencies and PowerType merge increment of "Classifier" * §7.3.6 "BehavioredClassifier" from Interfaces) is a merge increment of "BehavioredClassifier" from BasicBehavior) but not for "BehavioredClassifier" from Communications (it's the opposite). * etc... Then, i suggest to define PackageMerge relationships of the metamodele in a more formal way than simple diagrams and to validate that metaclass definition are consistent with these relationships.

This issue has already been resolved by, or no longer applies to, the UML 2.5 Beta 1 specification.
