Yes, that makes better sense.

So  everybody, are we absolutely sure that Class cannot be used for Agents?
I know how that Giovanni and Paola think that objects are evil :-)  --
thanks to their interesting paper.  But, what about the rest of you?  Are
*any* the features of Class unusable for agents?   If so, which ones?  If
there are not anyt, then perhaps Class can be the supertype of AgentClass;
otherwise, we should use Classifier as the supertype?

Perhaps we should get a sense from those Modeling TC members that feel this
is important.  Gerd? Hong? Renato? Misty?  Marc-Philippe?  Bernard?
Radovan?  Anyone else?


Cheers,

Jim
