I use the hibernate tools to generate my SQL, but for java they only
produce the simple bean. Sure this can be modified using well-know
meta/@attributes.

I started using multiple meta/@attribute, but I found myself bouncing
against the need for a hierarchy. I want to use the property element as
much as possible and I want inherit/override ancestors. For example, if
a property/@name changes I wouldn't have to change it for the UI's form
elements, template language variables or javascript validation.
