Michael,
Please find attached a version of the core model with Kind split into two
separate classes. Was it something like this you were looking for?
To me it makes sense to do the split. Before we had the abstraction
between Category and Kind it was tempting to stuff all functionality into
the Category. I do not think it is anymore.
I think this, exactly as you say Michael, definitely help clear things up
a bit :)
If there are any objections I need them asap, if this is going in I need
to start updating the core doc tomorrow. And if anyone has a better name
than "Mixin" please speak up!
regards, Ralf

I see that the core UML model has been updated, interesting changes. The name changes look okay to me (Entity, Kind).
2-cents: Structural and Non-Structural concept might be confusing to folks reading it the first time through. Perhaps its purpose (extensibility) could be stated before their definitions in a non normative manner. Lastly, would adding two subclass of kind (structured/unstructured) help clear things a bit? (The text seems to speak as if there are two subclasses).
