RE: Aggregate Attributes

["Jason, Jamie" <jamie.jason@intel.com>]

To me, named simply means that you have a mechanism for referring to the
attribute group.  Using C as an example:

typedef struct
{
	int x;
	int y;
} foo;

foo is now a name that you can use later, for example:

typedef struct
{
	foo f;
} bar;

That was all I had meant by it.
