re: The name CLASS-DIRECT-INSTANCES, as noted, was used following the model
    of CLASS-DIRECT-SUBCLASSES already in the MOP.

I thought as much.  Still, there is an exact linquistic correlation
between  DIRECT-SUBCLASSES/SUBCLASSES and DIRECT-INSTANCES/INSTANCES
(assuming that one allows the ambiguous term "instances"; if not, then
one must question whether "subclasses" is always used unambiguously.)
