Hi,

Thanks for your interest in the service. 

Replying to some of your comments:

> this is only appropriate for users who have non-proprietary models that they 
> don't
mind sending to an externally controlled web site.

True, but note that I'm not keeping the models. Of course, you still need to 
trust me on that but I don't see this as a big problem. Just look at the 
current project management tools. Most of them are now offered as SaaS (see our 
survey 
here:http://modeling-languages.com/content/survey-web-based-software-project-management-tools)
 which means that the tool hosts all the project related information for the 
company (including the code). Many companies are getting used to this and 
accept having key data in external providers (which I repeat it is not even the 
case of this service, since the service deletes the files after transforming 
them)

> sheets, etc?
 
There are not XSLTs. Since the XMI service is part of more ambitious services 
(see modeling-languages.com) that require more complex processing of the UML 
models, the models are first loaded into main memory as instances of the main 
metamodel and exported to the final XMI format.

> It would be useful to report what version(s) of UML & XMI are supported.

I mention the tools that are supported but you are right, I'll expand the 
information to be more precise

>Having the Terms & Conditions behind a registration firewall (!) makes
it kind of hard to decide how risky it is to register.

Not sure if I understand this last comment. Registration as a user of the 
portal is risk-free (you only need to provide an email address, all other 
informations are optional). The terms and conditions have to be accepted before 
launching the service so I don't see any risk in using the service.

Regards

Jordi Cabot
