The styles provided by the notational metamodel are very specific and hence clients have problems introducing their own styles.

To fix the problem a number of new general purpose styles has been introduced. Each general purpose style has a name and a value of some type. The most common usecase is a style holding java primitive type value - hence a number of styles that hold a java primitive type value and a list of these values have been added to the notational metamodel. However, since clients may want to hold a value of more complicated type in a style - we need to support generic values as well. Therefore, 3 styles for holding generic values have been introduced.
1. SingleValueStyle - holds single generic value
2. ListValueStyle - holds a list of generic values of the same type
3. PropertiesSetStyle - holds a map of strings (names of properties) to generic values (each value can have it's own type)

Since, new styles have been added to the notational metamodel, notation's NSURI has changed from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, so that clients are able to add the backward/forward compatibility support for their models (i.e. new styles are not lost if opened on the old software, new styles are recovered if new model saved by old software opened on the new software)
Fix committed for M7 - marking as fixed.
