UML22 — Section: 7.3.3

Second sentence in second paragraph under description is somewhat confusing. "The constraint does not necessilarily apply to the namespace itself, but may also apply to the elements in the namespace." The use of the word "also" bothers me. Do you mean "instead" rather than also. Wouldn't it make more sense, in the context of the first part of the sentence, that the constraint could instead apply to the elements in the namespace rather than the namespace. If you mean that a constraint could apply to both or the namespace or the element in the namespace then the statement needs to be reworded

The text does need to be reworded to eliminate such confusion.
