You suggested that this <properties>/<property>/<name>/<key> element
names are well-established convention, but I'm not sure. For one thing,
what's the namespace URI? I don't think there's a single
well-established XML infoset representation for any Map.
That said, java.util.Properties is a Map, and JAXB can conceivably
improve the handling of Map. Today, it doesn't let you change the tag
names of <key> nor <value>.
But even with that kind of change, it would be still difficult for XJC
to generate a Map, because schema doesn't really tell it if this
<properties> element has a map semantics. That kind of inference is very
hard to do, especially with languages like W3C XML Schema.
