A question for Rob and the others who are responsible for the WiX
architecture:

When using say a VBScript custom action (Type 6) with the BinaryKey
attribute set (the VBScript is in the Binary table), why was it designed
so that you HAVE to spcify a VBScriptCall attribute? The Windows
Installer docs say that the function name is optional:

Target

The Target field of the CustomAction table contains an optional script
function. Processing first sends the script for parsing and then calls
the optional script function.

But if I do not put the VBScriptCall attribute in I do not see how WiX
will know that it is a type 6. It is not a big deal pragmatically, I am
just wondering about the theory behind the decision. Is there something
"wrong" with not having a Target specified in a type 6 custom action?
