Target assembly-1.2 WD01 (PDF, regular form, not diff)

Description:
In section 9.3.1
The current name of the Business data filter element has an extremely
generic name of "body.xpath1" - this is not a useful name for
describing
what it does, and putting xpath1 in the name is inconsistent with the
other places where XPath applies (properties) and presumably has a version.

Also, the description says the context node is : "Context Node: the
root
element of the document being searched based upon the subject. In this
case (the Business Data Subject) it is the root element of the event
business data."

Assuming that the business data element is the root element of the
transport payload is confusing, because it could be nested under some
enveloping scheme (SOAP, anyone?)  So it would seem that "root
element
of the document", and "root element of the event business data"
can mean
two different things.

Proposal:

Change the name of the filter to eventBodyFilter.

Change the description of the Context Node to:
"The root element of the event business data."
