RE: Consistency of WSDL Component property names

This is issue LC107, which we delegated to the editors to change along
the lines you suggest or come back to the WG with further questions.
We're a little behind on our editorial tasks, but expect to implement
this one in the next few weeks.  Thanks for your patience!
