Ms Martin, this is fully what to expect since XMI is a set of
principles that operates on MOF meta models. So if one wants a precise
resulting XML interchange format you take:
* one part UML1.5 meta model ala MOF 1.4 (see file earlier)
* one part adapted XMI principles
* one or more UML profiles such as a UML profile for CCTS 2.01
