If we will accept the constraints you mentioned, it would also mean the
follows:

1. .xme files need to be imported into new UML.
I think it is acceptable.

2. We need to force using -o all in legacy projects. (I think it could
be avoided with some trick)

3. All xslt-s relaying on a specific udm-xml format will break. I can't
estimate the magnitude of this problem.


Thanks,
