v15.2 – <DiagramProperties> suppressed by isAbstract="true"

[Paolo F Cantoni]

This is related to the thread Can <DiagramProperties> be inherited?.  In diagnosing that issue, I observed that if the specification

Code: [Select]

<Stereotype name="Root" metatype="Root (Concept)" notes="" cx="570" cy="92" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
<AppliesTo>
<Apply type="Class">
<Property name="isActive" value=""/>
</Apply>
</AppliesTo>
<DiagramProperties>
<DiagramProperty name="IsRed" option="Red?" default="0"/>
</DiagramProperties>
</Stereotype>
included the attribute isAbstract="true", the USDP would NOT appear.  Once removed, the USDP would appear.

Can someone explain why?  I can sort of understand it since abstract metatypes aren't supposed to be instantiated.  But if the inheritance in the original thread worked, the metatype we'd be instantiating is a concrete descendent.
