Some of the most important work done in defining the next version of UML (2.0), is the definition/redefinition of the superstructure of the language. One of the major contributions here is the submission from the U2-partners (www.u2-partners.org) (where both Rational and Telelogic are members) (read it here: http://cgi.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/01-10-01). If you look at "Chapter 37 - Behavior - State Machines" for example, most of the theory here is from SDL. The proposed notation as showen for example in Figure 37-232 on page 37-341 in the document is pure SDL. Also the proposed notation for sequence diagrams (Chapter 36) is heavily based upon the Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) used with SDL. And so on. Whether SDL is the best RT modeling language or not, I wouldn't know since I've only worked with SDL.
