The reflection feature is mentioned very, very briefly in just that one sentence in the spec. They is no mention of changing names, so I am expecting that the attribute names would be identical to the property names. In that case, there would be a conflict if an attribute has the same name as a property -- otherwise how would the property be reflected? That's why I'm assuming that for this to work we should not allow an attribute name to override a property name.
My preferred solution is not to add any custom prefixes in ARIA, because they would not be portable The TOSCA spec has many authors, and it would be hard to track down the particular one who wrote this sentence... Personally, I think this is an awful and unclear feature.
