According to the w3 spec for the name element, the element can be specified zero or more times. However, in the Packager we currently make this element mandatory and throw an error if it's not provided.

@kwallis We need a decision on whether we want to match the w3 spec for this case or if we wan't to leave the element mandatory. One option could be to make the element optional and when it's not specified have it set to a default value [ie. Webworks Application].

What do use the name for? Does it become part of any critical identifying info, for the device, or AppWorld?

In my opinion it needs to be mandatory.

@kwallis It becomes the Application-Name in the bar MANIFEST.MF. I believe it's the "id" property that is used for app world and its matching Package-Name attribute in the bar MANIFEST.MF. Not 100% sure though. Would require some investigation.

This is not worth investing time in right now

I would say leave it as mandatory for now.
