UMLR — UML Issue: Refactor UML to separate SW-Specific Aspects from Foundation Language

Refactor UML to separate SW-Specific Aspects from Foundation Language

One useful refactoring would be to separate UML into a abstract modeling part and a software model part, so that other standards can base themselves on the abstract modeling piece without the baggage of software specific features. We would not want to encourage programming language-specific profiles, but wish to take out things such as components from the base UML profile.
