I agree that it would be nice to see some more detailed literature on
Executable UML projects both in and out of the embedded area, but what
is wrong with the online bookstore example? It is certainly not an
embedded application.

where Executable UML is perceived to fail outside of the embedded
area. (I am targeting the method and not tool support.)
