Earlier I should have said that using the term "design" in a non-standard
way can lead to incorrect thinking about related issues.
I think you need to distinguish analysis from arcitecture from design.
From what I gather in my experience in and readings on the development
phases, analysis examines requirements and traditionally in sw engineering
posits a logical solution. Architecture takes that and creates an overall
physical design for implementation based in large part on language. Design
is mostly considered to be subsystem and category/object creation - though
architecture is the first part of it.
I agree with you however that polymorphism/subtstitution in analysis
should be portrayed as a kind of non-specific (indefinite :-)
generalization rather than inheritance. And that inheritance if
applicable should only first show up in architectural blueprints.
