UML22 — Syntax of names

Issue: The UML infrastructure specification does not specify the syntax for names. This prevents model interchange.

Proposal: Specify the syntax for the string in Name. At least, the characters that may be used in names, and any rules about where in the name certain characters may not (or may) appear.

Include in the syntax specification a list of characters used in (or excluded from) names using (seven and) eight bit characters and a list of characters used in (or excluded from) names using sixteen bit characters.

[After a quick glance, the rules sent to the UML 2 Superstructure FTF mail list looks like it will do the job. Or, in any event, get us started.]
