Description

The XML Schema for feature files currently allows the features element (the xml root element) to have no name. Feature repositories with no name declared show up as "repo-0" in the list of repositories. As there currently are several important feature repositories without name [1], the features:listrepositories command returns multiple indistinguishable rows of "repo-0" named repositories.

I have targeted this improvement at Karaf 3.0.0 since existing feature files (like [1]) won't survive schema validation when the name attribute becomes required.
