Some style sheets which are possible descendants of this are 
available here:

http://argouml-mdr.tigris.org/source/browse/argouml-mdr/src/org/argouml/mode
l/mdr/conversions/

Look for NormalizeXMI, NormalizeNSUML, and WriteNormalizedTaggedValues.

The originally credited source in the headers is Dave Carlson, but they
easily could be the same ones Pete wrote.  We got our version from the
OpenModel project at Tigris.

One additional NSUML bug that we've fixed in our copy is swapping the  base
and addition of UseCase includes which apparently get written out backwards
by NSUML.

We have successfully used them to read cleaned ArgoUML XMI files into MDR
with the UML 1.3 metamodel.

The same directory also has the beginnings of a UML 1.3 to UML 1.4
conversion style sheet.  It hasn't been extensively tested, but it
successfully loads our old NSUML test models into our new MDR-based UML 1.4
implementation.

We've made good progress on migrating ArgoUML from NSUML to MDR and UML 1.4
and hope to have a preliminary developer release in less than a month.

We're probably the last people to leave NSUML, but if anyone does need help
in migrating from NSUML to
MDR, now would be a good time to ask while everything's fresh in our minds.
