Well, consider the step case. In steps, we have components that have
named inputs and named outputs. We want to associate a label with each
of those. (Or at least, with each of those outputs.)

If you want to use 'name' where I've used label, that's fine, but then
what do you want to use for name of the attribute that holds the name
of the component output?

Consider the 'foo' component that has a single output stream called
'output':

  <p:step kind="foo">
    <p:with-output XXX="output" name="mylabel"/>
  <p:step>

  <p:step kind="foo">
    <p:with-output XXX="output" name="otherlabel"/>
  <p:step>
