I haven't thought it through completely, but

property := named member of class
element  := member of collection (not named)

your name           my alternative
<collection>        <collection-property>
<subcollection>     <collection-element>
<component>         <component-property>
<composite-element> <component-element>
new                 <nested-component-property>

Now if we assume "-property" is inferred...

your name           my alternative
<collection>        <collection>
<subcollection>     <collection-element>
<component>         <component>
<composite-element> <component-element>
new                 <nested-component>
