Verified. They should indeed be removed.

No. UML 1.3 section 2.5.3.18 (part 1) states "A root cannot have any Generalizations: \
self.isRoot implies self.generalization->isEmpty". I take this to mean that if you \
set isRoot of a Class to true, then you cannot add superclasses to that class anymore \
(Similarly for isLeaf: you can't add subclasses).
The importance of using isRoot in the first place is quite questionable. Sometimes \
people would like to make their classes non-subclassable (i.e. isLeaf support), but \
even that is mostly bad design. But I _think_ Java's "final class..." supports this.
I wouldn't bother with isLeaf or isRoot, but I'm all talk, no code.
