Description

Bug 578981 identifies that the use of NAMESPACE as the required type filter for the first element of a long qualified name is too generous.It allows TYPE when only MODEL or PACKAGE is permitted. We need a new Abstract PackageOwner type to generalize Model and Package.

Introducing a new Pivot model interface just before a +0.0.1 RC1 is a bit risky.

Prototyping with a fake EClass works, but is a bit klunky and involves a possible semantic breakage that would be reverted once done properly. The fudge is worse than the proper coding. Best left till after the +0.0.1 release.
