[Paraview-developers] Sub proxies

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

The feature of exposing properties with some other names is something 
that had crossed my mind earlier. The only possible problem (that I can 
think of) with that, is that in such a case the XMLName of the property 
and the name the property is associated with (i.e. the exposed name) 
will not necessarily be the same. In other words, it's convienient for a 
proxy to return a property when a it is requested with some other name 
with which  it is being exposed. The difficulty lies in obtaining the 
exposed name of a property.
