Probably not a conscious choice.

You've just created a new local binding for the name "who", destroying
the old local binding.
<property name="who" value="mrstone"/>

That's fine, isn't it?

Well I was a bit surprised actually as that's not
mentioned in the <local> description. I thought <local>
let me re[un]define a property within a local scope
ONCE. In actuality it fundamentally changes what
<property/> means even within a single scope. <property>
no longer creates a write-once, read-many item within
a single scope.
Thanks,
The Wabbit
