BUG: Action doesn't have rectangle notation

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Why not?

I can't display the Notes compartment as a consequence...

Why not?

Action doesn't specialize Kernel::Classifier.

Action doesn't specialize Kernel::Classifier.

Since the [size=13]UML 2.1 Superstructure (interim)[/size] Specification in section 12.3.2 Action (from CompleteActivities, FundamentalActivities, StructuredActivities) subsection Description says:

An action represents a single step within an activity, that is, one that is not further decomposed within the activity. An activity represents a behavior that is composed of individual elements that are actions.

Thus, I would have thought Action was more like a Feature (of an Activity) (if it wasn't itself a first-class Classifier).

Thus, why is it in t-object?  Isn't t-object for Classifier-like objects?  

While I accept that you can't see Attribute or Operation Notes, you also can't see these Features in their own right on a diagram.

If it's in t-object (and you don't have [X] Strict UML Syntax checked) it should be allowed.

Finally, my understanding of English is that the phrase:

Notation
Use of action and activity notation is optional. A textual notation may be used instead.
Actions are notated as round-cornered rectangles.

(In the section noted above)

Means that Actions are explicitly using Rectangular Notation.
