Heh heh ... I'm glad you're enjoying it. I find it quite useful for
querying models. OCL has a not-quite-surprising ability to express
virtually all of the questions we might ask about a model.

The allInstances() operation is defined by OCL, but the
Element::allOwnedElements() operation is not. It is defined by UML2. I
think it is defined in the specification, not just by the implementation.
allOwnedElements() is a recursive application of the ownedElement
derived union. So, if you are missing any elements, then it is because
ownedElement is missing some subsets.
I have included the MDT UML2 newsgroup in this reply so that they may
help you to correlate the missing subsets to UML RTF issues and/or raise
new ones as necessary. Any problems of missing subsets are most likely
errors in the UML specification than defects in the implementation.
