it won't help. this is code implemented from the 1.3 or 1.4 UML interfaces 
using an IDL compiler. we're not operating in a CORBA environment. we have 
vastly different operating environment. for one, we're building for KDE so, 
we don't have the "benefit" of the entire CORBA object hierarchy. or the Java 
programming language in which everything is ultimately derived from Object. 
we have to invent the mapping of MOF and UML in such a way that our needs are 
met.

also, chris moore isn't implementing MOF. we are. we're also implementing the 
reflective interfaces - which he didn't. in other words, we're probably going 
to be doing more work than (as far as i can tell) any other modeling tool in 
existence. i don't even think rational rose implemented MOF. last i heard 
there was a plugin from somebody else.
