It is unclear if "Name" attribute is required in RemoveFile tag.

1) In http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_removefolder.htm it has nothing in "required" column
2) If I do not specify the "Name" attribute I get an error:
CNDL0010 : The RemoveFile/@Name attribute was not found; it is required.
3) If I specify an empty value for the "Name" attribute I get an error:
error CNDL0006 : The RemoveFile/@Name attribute's value cannot be an empty string. If you want the value to be null or empty, simply remove the entire attribute.

    Still the suggestion to remove he entire Name attribute is confusing - the error message should explain that this attribute is required and non-nullable.
