PAST and OO

2007-11-16 Thread Jonathan Worthington
Hi, In my reading through the PDDs, I came across the new PAST one, which I'm happy to see. I noticed that there is not any class and role definition related PAST nodes. I don't know if that's by design or just because nobody has written a spec and implementation yet. I think that since many
