OK, good, but do the UML tools give you any support for imposing the 
methodology?  I suspect not.  I suspect you could implement an equivalent 
modelling strategy using data models written in XML rather than UML, and 
then use XML schemas of various flavours to help impose the methodology.  
So what I am getting at is not "is there a methodology", but "how do you 
help contributors avoid accidentally doing things that are outside of the 
methodology".  There fewer ways there are for people to do things wrongly, 
the more they can spend their energies on the real business of putting 
together the required models.
