		"description": "ALOY-1363 got me thinking it would be good to make Alloy less dependent on knowledge about the Titanium APIs for parsing XML.\r\n\r\nh4. Why\r\n\r\n* Less dependant on certain Titanium versions (e.g. should {{<SplitView>}} map to {{Ti.UI.iPad}} or {{Ti.UI.iOS}} namespace?)\r\n* More prepared for future Titanium versions (e.g. ALOY-1356)\r\n* Cut down on [custom parsers|https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/tree/master/Alloy/commands/compile/parsers] - in particular for proxy elements (those which map to parent properties instead of {{.add()}}, enabling the above as well as less possible points of failure (e.g. ALOY-1282)\r\n* Less magic and higher predictability of XML parsing for developers\r\n* Would allow modules to use proxy elements as well, with need for Alloy to know how (like we now hard-coded {{ti.map}} support).\r\n\r\nh4. How\r\n\r\n* Drop [implicit namespaces|https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/blob/master/Alloy/common/constants.js#L151] and always require developers to be in charge and thus conscious of which namespace or module they use via {{ns=\"Ti.UI.iOS\"}} an {{module=\"ti.map\"}}.\r\n* Replace as much proxy elements as we can by adding support for generic {{<Array>}} and {{<Object>}} elements, accompanied by a new {{parentProperty}} to tell Alloy which parent property to assign it to:\r\n\r\n{code:xml}\r\n<Alloy>\r\n  <Collection src=\"marker\" />\r\n  <Map module=\"ti.map\"> \r\n     <Array parentProperty=\"annotations\" dataCollection=\"marker\">\r\n        <Annotation module=\"ti.map\" />\r\n     </Array>\r\n     <Object parentProperty=\"region\" latitude=\"33.74511\" longitude=\"-84.38993\" latitudeDelta=\"0.01\" longitudeDelta=\"0.01\" />\r\n  </Map>\r\n</Alloy>\r\n{code}\r\n\r\n* Add \"parentMethod\" attribute for the developer to override the default {{add()}}, which can also be used with the above:\r\n\r\n{code:xml}\r\n<Alloy>\r\n  <Map module=\"ti.map\">\r\n    <Polygon module=\"ti.map\" parentMethod=\"addPolygon\" />\r\n     <Array parentMethod=\"addAnnotations\" dataCollection=\"marker\">\r\n        <Annotation module=\"ti.map\" />\r\n     </Array>\r\n  </Map>\r\n</Alloy>\r\n{code}",
