I'm confused.  I thought you were saying the runtime doesn't care about these distinctions because it only cares about the visibility entry.  Is that not correct?  I thought I was agreeing with you that we probably don't need these extra types at all.

Also, I'm a bit confused about the visibility entry having to do with the XMI file being retrieved.  I thought that flag determined whether the model was visible via JDBC.  When and why does the runtime need to retrieve the model?

Thanks,
