Yes, please do revert the attribute changes, even in the trunk. There is a big
backwards compatibility issue with things like this and even if we did decide
to change these attribute names (which I don't think we should, there is no
precedent for attribute names like these and therefore no consistency with
attributes on other tags), then the Java code should accept both names so that
existing code does not break. This is what I did before with the simple-method
stuff when making the attribute names more consistent, and is vital when
attribute names are changed.
Either way, this should be discussed on the dev mailing list first. It's kind of an
unpleasant surprise to have things changed like this for those who are using them, and we
need a much better reason than something along the lines of "I like this other name
better". If other committers were making that sort of change for things you are
using, it would be pretty annoying wouldn't it?
