It's certainly there.  I can't remember the exact word used (most likely
static) but operations and attributes which are owned by the class rather
than an object from that class are underlined.  Constrictor methods are an
example of this (but not destructor).

No, I'm with Luis on this one.  The file format works and there don't seem
to be any issues for within Umbrello.  The only things that need added are
an XML header and an exporter name and version number so we can keep track
when the file format is changed to be more XMI compliant.

Besides there are people using this version, can't break it now.

I'm all for it.
