The name child element
Release 2.0 - ...
The name child element of the dispatch action element provides an alternate means of specifying the name of the event to dispatch.
The event name of the dispatch action is given by the name attribute or the name element. If both are given, the element takes precedence.
The name element can provide the event name with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence.
