The @Property annotation currently has two non-standard attributes:

I have marked these as @Deprecated but have not removed them as
there are references in our implementation. I think it should be
fairly easy to replace override() with the standard required()
attribute but it looked like it would be more complex to remove
the xmlType() one given its use in the databinding framework.
What do we need to do to remove these?

I think we need to remove them as they aren't spec compliant. I can
do that today if it makes sense or unless there is another option
(e.g. perhaps a different annotation?).
We need to remove them, but that means the code we have that uses
them needs to be fixed.
I don't see ATM where override fits in - what's the purpose of a
property that can't be overridden (what in Java would be known as a
constant)? I think all of its usages can be replaced with required().
xmlType seems to be used in the databinding framework to help in the
conversion from the property value. As a Java programmer I don't
really want to have to deal with all this pointy-bracket stuff so the
Java type of the property should be enough. I don't know yet what the
impact on the databinding would be if we removed this.
Is this something you're planning on tackling?
