Interesting. We discovered the attaching of text labels to simple
lines because in UML use cases we needed simple straight lines, and
simple lines with labels for extends, includes, etc. We could have
used UML messages with the "simple" message type, but it would only
work for <<include>>, so we decided to stick with simple lines and
attached text labels because it works for all cases and gives us more
flexibility.

We've wondered why there are no connectors for use cases in the UML
sheet. Anybody know?
