UML22 — UML 2 Super / Incorrect statement on port visibility

The updated UML spec p162 states:

"UML Superstructure 2.0 Draft Adopted Specification

A port of a classifier is shown as a small square symbol. The name of the port is placed near the square symbol. If the port
symbol is placed overlapping the boundary of the rectangle symbol denoting that classifier this port is exposed (i.e., its
visibility is public). If the port is shown inside the rectangle symbol, then the port is hidden and its visibility is as specified (it
is protected by default)."

This text was supposed to be removed by the FTF – the placement of the port is independent of its visibility. Port placement is merely a question of graphical convenience. Their visibility is indicated by the usual means as for all other properties (+, -, and #).
