I don't understand how this is any different from wedging PGML into XMI or any other ArgoUML proprietary approach. Swapping one proprietary approach for another has no advantage that I can see. It causes us to waste effort on an evolutionary dead end throw away piece of code, It doesn't improve interchange with other tools. It replaces a set of known problems with a new set of unknown problems. Our current proprietary approach, for all of its problems, is at least a known quantity. The only way I'd support replacing it with a different proprietary approach of our own crafting would be if it was clear that it was going to be at least two years before we could get to a standard UML 2.x Diagram Interchange. We've made due with PGML for 5+ years. Why the sudden rush to replace it with something that will have a lifetime measured in months?
