OK, happy to follow this policy: align LibCellML¹s entities¹ (classes,
members) names to serialisation¹s entities¹ (elements, attributes) names,
when an obvious mapping exists. The alternative would have been
consistency with regards to the policy of keeping the library untainted by
serialisation issues, but I agree that this would just be confusing in
this case.

I¹ve also added https://tracker.physiomeproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3859
for the record.

Regards,
Randall
