Modeling webapps with WebML

Dear all!
I have been recently searching for some good design methodology for creating web applications and I have found WebML. I have read some publications about it and want to use it during creating my systems. I have decided to use:

UML as a basic notation standard,
WebML methodology for design phase,
MVC as a pattern for implementation.

If someone here used WebML, could he/she share with their opinion about it. Is it OK, bad, pros and cons, etc.. Of course, if someone knows any other web-oriented object-oriented design methodology it would be nice if he/she could write their thoughts in this topic :P

BTW: The WebML model is patented by Politecnico di Milano <- big minus, I do not like patents :(

Thanks everyone for replying.

after a first glance:

data model = (e)erd
hypertext model = identify some standard dialogs
presentation model = convert xml via xsl to (x)html
webml process = iterative development

conclusion: nothing new under the sun.
