Issues BINDINGS-88 and BINDINGS-89 - modified JCA binding spec doc

[Simon Holdsworth <simon_holdsworth@uk.ibm.com>]

Here's an updated JCA binding spec where
I've rename @name to @jndiName and copied over the 7 normative statements
regarding combination of @create values and @jndiName from the JMS binding
specification:

Looking back at the JCA binding spec
I have a distinct sense of deja vu -  where we addressed the vagueness
of the "name" attribute that refers to resources located in JNDI,
and removed the concept of a "plain name".

My preference in resolving these two
issues would be to make the JMS and JCA binding specs consistent with respect
to the identification of resources (connection factories, activation specs
and resource adapters) and the text that describes and defines their behaviour.
I can't think of any reason why there would need to be a difference between
the two specifications with regards to the definition of the location of
these resources and the behaviour with respect to creation/use of existing
resources.

With regard to the particular issue
in BINDINGS-88 and BINDINGS-89, my feeling is that saying:   "create='always'
requires that the resource does not already exist" and "create='never'
requires that the resource already exists"  are sufficient and
saying that the name must be unique is superfluous (and begs the question
over what domain) so we should remove the normative statements that state
uniqueness as a requirement.

So in terms of a direction to resolve
BINDINGS-88 and BINDINGS-89, I would feel most comfortable with one that
as much as possible copies text from the JMS binding spec, and where the
connection/@name and activationSpec/@name attributes are renamed "@jndiName"
and re-typed to be "xs:anyURI".

I'll put together a version of the spec
with these changes for people to take a look at.
