Changing names might be ok. But renaming an element by giving it a
name
of another elements is leading to troubles.
While true, in this particular case since the elements have different
namespaces, and since XBL1 never had a large user base, we feel the
new
names are worth any minor migration pain that may occur. In
practice, it
is nearly impossible to not notice the difference, since the
elements have
radically different behaviour and picking the wrong one will have
completely different effects.
specifically!
There is also the element attribute, which will be more than
confusing
for many people. ex: "The binding element attribute is element"
Actually that's not really been very confusing so far. I originally
thought it would be (IIRC it wasn't me that came up with that
name), but
it hasn't been nearly as confusing as I had predicted.
Let's hope, it will be that way.

Then it is possible to write in the _same_ specification, things like
"content" element has been deprecated. content element is …
I'm not sure what you mean here; nothing is deprecated in XBL2.
Hmm indeed, not deprecated, travesti in another element name.
It is often said by some groups inside and outside W3C. That
usability
of the language is very important. For example, some people
complained
about the "l" element in XHTML 2.0. XBL 2 is taking the same road?
Is it
the only possible solution?
Please minimize ambiguities by changing names.
The current names were the result of a significant investment in time
trying to get various vendors agreed, and I really don't want to
reopen
that discussion at this late stage...
Please let me know if you disagree with this.
not disagreeing, crossing fingers.
