Re: ACTION-2206: Propose text for using mirroring for <control/>

In our implementation, we have also encountered the need for something like
this, although in most cases the value can be reduced to a string.

So in addition to mirroring, we also have what we call *parameters*. Those
are expressed as attributes, which can be AVTs. Then we have an XPath
function to access the value of a parameter passed to the component.
