Hi Bernd,

I agree. I won't argue that this is a work-around.
Could you document a bit how many of these 2..* and 0..2 type multiplicities
you would be using? (for example how many are there in the SID?)

The change of multiplicities is a rather large change and I would need to
document/justify the need for a change.

Thanks for your help,
Eric
