My experience of xUML (actually its predecessor, and from a
competitor at that) was that you ended up doing quite a lot of
design, and even programming -- just not in Ada.

Presumably for any really interesting SPARK annotations you'd have to
decorate the model? The model compiler can make deductions from the
model but I would have expected them to be about modelling (eg
multiplicities), not so much about automotive systems.
