UMLR — UML: Include text description field with model element --- additional information added

While almost every tool supports the concept of a model element specification, they are not consistent on which elements can have them nor are they consistent on the contents/typing of the specification. Please make model element specification available on ALL elements and make the format and content a rich field.

This capability is required for modelers to incorporate significant amount of explanatory documentation for each element. The ability to include textual descriptions for each model element and other basic metadata should be part of UML. In addition, such text should be augmented with the ability to structure and format the model element descriptions.

We would like to see support for RTF, PDF, XML, HTML, and XHTML, as well as support for including graphics

Similarly, a modeler should be able to type any attribute with a string-like type that allows for similar formatting or markup.
