Guessing how busy you are, you may not be interested, but I think it's pretty
obvious that the more user-friendly a name is, the more it will be used by the
community.
Interceptor-ref probably describes exactly what it is in framework architecture
terms, but something like 'goal', 'phase', 'execution' or 'command' will
undoubtedly be alot better received. (I grabbed those from the maven vocab, in
case you didn't notice).
The obvious name is interceptor-stack, but the DTD uses that for
another purpose. The interceptor-ref can be a single interceptor,
another interceptor-ref, or any combination of the two (e.g., a
composite). It's role in the framework is to create what Struts 1
calls the "request processor" or "controller". In Struts 1.3, the
request processor is a chain of commands, and, so, conceptually very
close to an interceptor stack.
A syntatically sweet name might be "controller", but since it's
implemented as a composite of interceptor stack, that name would mask
what it is doing, and probably make it harder to use.
<interceptor-stack-composite> might be the most descriptive, but it's
a lot to type, and the DTD is designed to be keyboard friendly.
