Well there is in fact an already defined property of an operation for "virtual" which is called isPolymorphic pages 74-76 of the UML 1.4 spec (i read it now!). However, tagged values and stereotypes are a good feature for Dia and i'm ready to work on. I already added isQuery, isLeaf, isPolymorphic and isAbstract. I wonders what isRoot is meant for (in any language).

P.S: what means "stickler" ? (french frog)
