BUG: Keyword, keyword wherefore art thou keyword?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

If an edge has a defined UML keyword (such as an Information Flow: «flow» - see Analysis Toolbox).  If you subsequently add a stereotype, the keyword disappears.  To "get it back" you have to add an identically named stereotype - which is wrong...

UML keywords are not stereotypes.  If both a keyword and (one or more) stereotype(s) are present, then both must be visible.

The [size=13]UML 2.1 Superstructure (interim)[/size] Specification doesn't seem to be clear on whether they are to be rendered as:
«keyword» «stereotype, stereotype»
or as:
«keyword, stereotype, stereotype»

But I suspect the keyword should always come first.

This needs to be rectified.

Annex B, p717 says:

If multiple keywords and/or stereotype names apply to the same model element, they all appear between the same pair of guillemets, separated by commas

Thanks for that Neil, that's definitive, but not normative since it doesn't specifiy the order...

I still contend the keyword(s) should come first.

Totally agree!
