0. Can you describe the contribution first?
1. You can put the Custom Action in pubca or create a new one if that is
more appropriate. I'd need to understand the goal to know best.
2. It depends on how you write the code. You can choose to fail if the
property isn't defined. The easiest way to enforce that the user sets the
property is to put a PropertyRef element in the Fragment that defines your
custom action.
3. A test would be nice. We have not been historically great about that, but
Bob did create nit (you can read about it in the WiX documenation).
However, I would say documentation for the custom action functionality is
even more important.
