Another tool I mentioned is ArgoUML which is quite good and Open SOurce 
(free):

http://argouml.tigris.org/

I personally use Together 4 which is good but nearly as expensive as Rose.

I still find that the tool is good for doing diagrams but so far have 
not found a way around
documenting the various sections I listed in the template I proposed. 
Also it is difficult
to get everyone to use the same tool.

That is why I suggest we use whatever tools we have to generate diagrams 
but document the use case
use HTML. For the Semantic Content Management  SC of ebXML Registry Carl 
and I are trying this approach
out and can share our experience in a few weeks with the egov TC.
