I doubt that we will have the resources to do this. And I doubt that it 
can be done well. I know the UML2 Metamodel very well, and it is 
(fortunately) quite different in many aspects and better designed. I 
woudn't want to put work into something which makes the result worse 
than it could be.

that would be nice if you could do that. I'd like to make a feasibility 
study by supporting some basic diagrams with EMF/uml2. Please let me 
know when you get around to doing that and thanks for the help...
