item@ref

Also related

<item> allows a binding.

Although the text doesn't say what the role of the binding is I am  
assuming (and will update the text accordingly):

1. it supplies a value
2. It overrides @value

Example:

  <item label="Your name" ref="name"/>

Can you check your implementations?
