Description:

The sca-core XSD declares the <composite/>
<reference/> element to have an @autowire attribute:

4190  
   <attribute name="autowire"
type="boolean"
use="optional"/>

However, the specification section for
the <composite/> <reference/> element does not contain a description
of @autowire and the
pseudo-schema does not contain the @autowire
attribute.

It was never intended that composite
references should have an @autowire attribute.  If they did, this
could lead to dangerous
default autowire values occurring on
components that used a composite containing a composite reference of this
kind.

Proposal:

Remove the @autowire attibute from the
<composite/> <reference/> element in the sca-core XSD.

This means deleting line 4190 from CD03-Rev2.
