[x ] <ejb-name> should be restricted as above ONLY for CMP 2.0 Entity Beans
There really is no point to restricting the names in other contexts that I can see
as it will only introduce compatibility problems.

> 
> Even more restrictive is section 10.3.13:

> "The ejb-name must be a valid Java identifier"
> 
> This explicitly disallows something which is quite popular today, e.g.

> <ejb-name>org/jboss/ABean</ejb-name>
