I'm not sure, but I think that when you upload a specialised archetype to CKM 
it validates it against the parent. You can also use ADL Workbench to validate 
it.

Nonetheless, that's a nice suggestion, Pablo. It would need to be a new menu 
item, since "File | Specialise" already does something (i.e., it creates a 
specialisation of the specialisation). Maybe "File | Update Specialisation"?

It would take a while to implement something like that, however, because we'd 
have to make sure it handled everything properly. Even then, I'm sure that 
corner cases would remain where the specialised archetypes got out of step.

ADL 1.5 is the only real solution. I'd rather put that effort into moving to 
ADL 1.5.
