Hi,
I am trying to find out what the allowable character set is for the
names of UML modeling elements, inother words for the (String typed)
values of the "name" attribute of instances of the UML metaclass
"NamedElement".

I did not find any restriction for names in the UML 2.1 Superstructure
spec. Which still means that I might have missed it ;-)

Does that mean that anything out of Unicode V4 is allowed ? How about
colons ? Double quotes ? Leading and trailing whitespace ? Whitespace
within the name ?

Are there any escape mechanisms for characters not allowed?
