Hm, not sure. Two things:
That would require our existing users to modify their configurations.
Also, currently the "name" attribute provides an identifier for its element so
that other elements can reference it. Isn't it clearer to have a different
attribute when referring to another element? I think calling this attribute
"ref" is very clear actually and I don't think having the same name for
attributes that refer and attributes attributes that are being referred to is
better.
