(urgent) UML links just broke

The links from Overview and Syntax to UML and MOF are broken.  I think
this just happened today; I guess OMG decided to get rid of the old
copies of their specs.  Now the PDFs are 404.  We can't publish this
way.

In Syntax, Overview, and NFR, we use:

 http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/References/ref-uml
 [UML]
    OMG Unified Modeling Language (OMG UML), Infrastructure,
    V2.1.2. Object Management Group, OMG Available Specification,
    November 2007, http://www.omg.org/docs/formal/07-11-04.pdf.

and, in Syntax:

 [MOF]
    Meta Object Facility (MOF) Core Specification, version 2.0. Object
    Management Group, OMG Available Specification January 2006.

    with a link to: http://www.omg.org/docs/formal/06-01-01.pdf

Those pdf links are now, suddenly, 404.

Poking around a little, I think maybe the right links to use are:
   http://www.omg.org/spec/MOF/2.0/
   http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.2/

But:

    (1) That's UML 2.2 not 2.1.2.   I don't see 2.1.2 on their site any more.
    	I have no idea if this matters.

    (2) We were linking to a PDF before; maybe there was a reason for
        that?  I don't know.  Their site does have more recent URLs.

I'm vaguely inclined to just take out the URLs.  If OMG can't keep their
documents on the web for two years, why link to them.  :-) In fact, I
guess that's what I'll do, unless someone speaks up, arguing confidently
for some particular URLs to use here.
