yes. it should be the MOF definition of UML. we should be able to generate the 
stubs for a real implementation running it thru some kind of utility. using 
another tool might not be worthwhile, because we'd need to generate code 
specifically for umbrello (like auto-generating XMI saving/loading 
capabilities). you can find the specification for the elements in the UML XMI 
definition in the MOF specification here:

next:
umbrello isn't really xmi compliant :( it expects certain organizational 
primitives to exist where none do in the uml xmi file.
