Outer group vs named form

The example in 8.3 Direct Binding is

<orderForm>
   <shipTo>
     <firstName>value</firstName>
   </shipTo>
</orderForm>

Here the "orderForm" is a group that seems to
exist only to give a name to the instance.
Why doesn't the model element have a "name"
attribute for this purpose?

John.
