Summary: Feature attribute not working

Initial Comment:
(for Bob Arnson as per 
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/12/07/simplifying-the-wix-v3-language/)

When using the new Feature attribute of the Component element, I can't get it 
to work on Heat-generated Components (contained in Fragments).

Please see attached project.

The sample you posted works as expected; the problem is that nothing in
your Product section references anything in the Heat-generated Fragment so
the linker doesn't include the fragment in the output. References start in
the entry section (Product, in this case) and go down; a reference from a
fragment into the entry section doesn't cause the fragment to be included
(though once it is, those references resolve correctly).

As Derek told me when I ran into the same problem: "Parents can pick their
children, but children can't pick their parents."

You can see the same problem if you were to use FeatureRef in your
Heat-generated fragments (which is roughly what Component/@Feature does).
