Only in Dante's sixth circle of hell :-) Seriously, I think the OMG is  
the main reason Domain Specific Modeling hasn't taken off. Go to any  
serious platform agnostic DSM conference (DSM forum at ooPSLA, Code  
Gen in Cambridge England, MoDELs, etc) and Tony Clark (or one of his  
friends) is the guy looking defensive, sitting in the corner and  
trying to explain to anyone who listens that with stereotypes you can  
do anything in UML (missing the point that you can also plant  
geraniums with a fork lift truck, some hydraulics and a little  
ingenuity - because something is possible doesn't mean it's optimal!)

Heck I've heard it proposed that the only reason for the recent  
popularity of M2M transformations is the hideous structure of the  
models spat out by all of the UML tooling :-)

Best Wishes,
Peter
