Subject: RE: [emergency-msg] Confusion about RM location elements


Thanks Patti,

That's very much what I was thinking as I did the changes to the 
models, and I suspect those packages can be made to reflect this.  So 
I am agreeable with this suggestion.

I have sent the ArgoUML file for the main Element Reference Model to 
Patti to update since she also works with this tool.  So hopefully, 
we can see that model by Thursday, whether it is included in the next 
full edition of the spec or not. I will update all of them after we 
agree.

Cheers,
Rex
