Why would you need the text element, when the only issue with multiplicities, roles, message names etc is their poor automatic placement? The two bugs I previously mentioned (65430 and 118313) raise two different approaches to solving this problem (improve automatic placement, and provide a manual placement option), and it looks both will (eventually) be implemented - yay!
