(12364) It should be clearly stated whether DistributedProperty may only be applied to a value property

On p.46 under 8.3.2.4 DistributedProperty it is stated that:

'[1] The DistributedProperty stereotype may be applied only to properties of classifiers stereotyped by Block or ValueType.'

It does not however state whether a DistributedProperty [Property] within a Block may only be applied to a value property (a "block property" typed by a ValueType or DataType) or other Property variations. All examples of the application of DistributedProperty show it applied to a value property.

This has implications for sorting into block compartments in BDDs; if a DistributedProperty [Property] may only be applied to a value property then it will always be sorted into the 'values' compartment.

It also has implications for aggregation; since a value property (within a block) must have AggregationKind 'composite', a DistributedProperty will also have AggregationKind 'composite' (within a block).
