I haven't seen the UML model you have, but I do know that most of my
effort spent toward interfaces didn't attempt to define any of them at
all, just the framework for them.  There has been a slight amount of
effort from what I've seen, spelled out in Python, toward this goal, but
not much.

I would be interested in seeing that model you refer to.  Who showed to
you?
