its not called static, but its there... I think I've seen it.
it something like "class attributes" instead of "instance attributes" (which 
are "normal", non-static ones)
If I ever find the page again I'll let you know. 
It also says they should be underlined, to differenitate them from non static 
ones.

I think we should leve the file format in peace for now. Even if you implement 
XMI 100% you will not be able to share files across applications (which is 
the whole thing about having a "common" file format) because current version 
does not support diagrams, only models.

so, my opinion is: we need to stop playin with the file format now, and get 
the other things stable.. by the time Umbrello 2.0 (or whatever next version 
is) comes out, the new XMI specification will be out, and *then* it will be 
worth it to switch again.... of course, we will have the problem of 
supporting this file format, but since its XML based it will be nothing 
compared to the pain it is (was) with the binary file..
