The rename element
This option controls the renaming of nodes in the XFA Data DOM.
<rename
Properties:
desc="cdata"
>
...pcdata...
</rename>
The rename element is used within the following other elements:
transform
This option applies only to nodes corresponding to elements with tags that match the value of the
ref
attribute of its enclosing
transform
element.
If the
rename
element is absent or empty the name of the node in the XFA Data DOM is taken from the tag
name. If the value is non-empty the node in the XFA Data DOM corresponding to the element is renamed
to the value of the
rename
element. For example, an XFA configuration document includes the fragment
<transform ref="foo">
<rename>bar</rename> </transform>
and as a result for each node in the XFA Data DOM corresponding to an element named "foo", the XFA
application renames the node to "bar". This does not affect the XML Data DOM.
This option takes effect during the data-load phase.

Extended Mapping Rules.

for a discussion of XFA node names.
The desc property
An attribute to hold human-readable metadata.
