I too am keenly interested in UML accessibility as I'm considering a new role 
in enterprise architecture and it goes without saying that tool accessibility 
is a big consideration.

Our IT architecture group is looking to standardize on a new architecture tool; 
they are down to choosing between one of the following 3:
1) ARIS provided by IDS Scheer. 
2) Troux Architect provided by Troux Technologies. 
3) MEGA Architecture provided by MEGA. 
Does anyone have any specific experience with any of the above 3 tools?
 
And I too am interested in learning more about elf's UML reading tool; looking 
forward to your posts.
