Very Interesting!  Thanks!

The notation seems to be working; your diagram of Mutex features is much 
easier to understand that pure text descriptions IMO.  Looks like you got 
the +'s and |'s right, too.

You might want to a short description of the Mutex concept itself, or link 
to a description of the concept.

You also might want to add a link to 
http://www.boost.org/more/feature_model_diagrams.htm for the benefit of 
those not familiar with the feature diagram notation.

<pedantic>
A feature diagram is a design tool which allows us to visualize feature 
variations for some concept.  It isn't a commitment to actually include the 
features in a final design.  It also doesn't specify how the features are 
to be packaged, or the time of binding.  All that comes later.
