I also corrected the way the comment are displayed. In UML comments

dia now does this correctly for UMLClass objects.

The specification for UML are covered in general in the book "The 
Unified Modeling Language User Guide" by Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh 
and Ivar Jacobson. It only covers UML 1.0, but I was going to make UML 
compliant with that before tackling UML 2.0. You can find out more 
about UML 2.0 at http://www.uml.org/

The newest UML 2.0 specs I can see appears to be
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/apps/doc?formal/05-07-04.pdf which defines
comments as being in separate Note objects.  The oldest specs available
there (1.3, at http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/apps/doc?formal/00-03-01.pdf)
don't define anything like that either.  I've also never seen anything like
it in any of the UML examples I've seen.  Maybe I should get the book.

I see.  *sigh*  That's the kind of thing that makes me want to add a
'Strict UML compliance' option:(  There's only four different tags
defined, why did they ever make the comment tag "Documentation"?  It
also appears to have been dropped later on, in 1.4.
