Description

To reduce the amount of XML that must be written for a component description, the name attributes of the component and reference elements will be changed from required to optional. This change is only effective for documents in the new namespace.

The default value of the name attribute of the component element is the value of the class attribute of the nested implementation element.

The default value of the name attribute of the reference element is the value of the interface attribute of the reference element.
