>Just a reminder that a process/coding model is available in UML 1.5 and
>UML 2 that covers many of the requirements:
>
>   6.5.7 The model shall include control structures.  Examples include
>         a) Conditionals such as if-then-else and/or case statements
>         b) Iterators such as while loops, do-while loops, and/or for
>            loops
>         c) Case statements
>
>   6.5.8 The operations procedure model shall have the capability to
>           define and process arithmetic and boolean expressions.
>
>   6.5.9 The operations procedure model shall have the capability to
>           define local data within a procedure model.
>
>   6.5.10  The operations procedure model shall have the capability to
>           define and nest sub-procedure models.
>
>   6.5.11  The operations procedure model shall have the capability to pass
>           data structures to sub-procedures and to receive values from
>           sub-procedures.
>
>   6.6.1  The operations procedure model may include thread control and
>          data synchronization features.

>The RFP currently does not mention UML or ask for an extension to it,
>MOF or profile.  Other than the specs (doc.omg.org/formal/03-03-01,
>doc.omg.org/ptc/04-10-02), more explanation of the UML 2 models is
