Comment(by david):
Replying to [comment:5 impl]:
> I thought the idea behind custom parameter names was so we could use
constants for them (like in Propel/Doctrine configuration). No?
That was the original idea, but outside of Doctrine and Propel, the use
case just isn't there I think. Particularily for element names, the syntax
is just going to spin out of control rather sooner than later. I thought
about supporting someting like {{{ae:literalize="constant"}}} or similar,
but that would then only work for values.
The attractive thing about [wiki:AEPs/AEP-100] is its simplicity; half of
the functionality is achieved through the standardized {{{xml:space}}}
attribute.
We could always add extended functionality later; I think we discussed
before though that what's specified in the AEP is probably enough for most
use cases any a reasonable compromise between functionality and
implementational complexity.
