/**
* Common element and attribute names appearing in DOMs conforming to inspection-result-1.0.xsd.
*
* Metawidget promotes a loose coupling between Inspectors and widget creation. In particular, it
* discourages any single Inspector dictating an XML attribute name, as that Inspector then holds a
* 'monopoly' on how that attribute gets initialised (eg. it should not matter whether a
* required attribute came from a JPA annotation, a Hibernate mapping file or Hibernate
* Validator).
*
* Metawidget also promotes that, as both Inspectors and widget creation evolve independently, the
* XML attributes recognized should evolve in an 'ad hoc' fashion: Metawidget places no restrictions
* on what attribute names can be used.
*
* However, for those attribute names that have become sufficiently standardized, it is desirable to
* have a more formalized 'middle ground', if only to avoid typos.
