=0A=0D=0AIsabelle, =0D=0A=0D=0AOK, we can change name -> id when defining=
 all beans, and use =0D=0Arefid for references.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe only probl=
em I see with your syntax below...=0D=0A=0D=0A<property name=3D"thefoo" r=
efid=3D"foo/>=0D=0A<property name=3D"moo">moo</property>=0D=0A=0D=0A...is=
 that I can't see how it would support collections. I =0D=0Asee this as a=
 major enhancement, possible with the original =0D=0Aproposal, that had <=
value> and <ref> subelements.=0D=0A=0D=0AI can easily change the XML pars=
ing for whatever we agree. =0D=0A=0D=0ARegards,=0D=0ARod=0D=0A=0D=0A> Hi =
Rod,=0D=0A> =0D=0A> There is one thing I do not like about your proposed =
=0D=0Asyntax: you use <ref=0D=0A> name=3D"xxx"> is used in two different =
contexts, one when you =0D=0Adefine a bean=0D=0A> that can serve as a ref=

bean.=0D=0A> That's confusing. It would be better to define with for ex. =
=0D=0Aan id attribute,=0D=0A> and reference with a refid attribute:=0D=0A=
