Well I don't mind convercing in UML if one felt they needed to express a
'Thing' in that particular style..... :o)

I'd like to see component diagrams though.  Boxes with arrows.
We'll be able to see where messages go and the data exchanged.
And if we're really lucky, these little boxes should end up being individual
middleware services with defined interfaces that can be put in the
'free-for-anyone-to-code' list.
Progress is therefore ensured.... [when you wish upon a star......]
