I may not have the time to take much part in this discussion (I may respond 
with great delay), but there are arguments that Aktionsart and aspect are 
fundamentally the same thing. See for example chapter 2 of my thesis, 
available at http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/hum/yleis/pg/huovila/

Aspect is not only a subjective view of an action, but it affects the 
truthfulness of what is said.

Uncompleted and Completed are not categories on how one is subjectively to 
view an action (aspect), but are categories relating to the action itself 
(not 
aspect).
