If we changed only the name, we would be lying. ;-) No, the pattern has
changed. The MMFs do *not* implement the metaclass interfaces any more -
MMDs implemented them. We decided to change this because the interfaces
became too large and unusable. Another point is that the facades will
shield the metamodel from the templates so that the metamodel can be
replaced, we can go from UML 1.4 to UML 1.3 or to UML 2.0.

Yes. See the Wikiweb at
