 67                  "CIM_MethodParameters represents a set of values to be used as "
 68                  "the parameters of a method. These parameters may be passed to "

 70                  "accessed by the method when it is called. The properties of a "
 71                  "concrete subclass of MethodParameters are mapped to the "
 72                  "parameters of a method by the method itself or by the method "
 73                  "caller. This is an implementation detail independent of the "
 74                  "definition of the class. For ease of use, property names "
 75                  "should match parameter names. \n"

 79                  "The instances that the property values should be gleaned from "
 80                  "should be associated with MethodParameters using the Parameter "
 81                  "ValueSources association. If the property is declared as an "
