Abstract
Documentation:
The name element describes the name assigned to a value associated with a specific registry key. If the nillable attribute is set to true, then the object being specified is the higher level hive/key. In this case, the name element should not be collected or used in analysis. Setting nil equal to true on an element is different than using a .* pattern match. A .* pattern match says to collect every name under a given hive/key. The most likely use for xsi:nil within a registry object is when checking for the existance of a particular key, without regards to the different names associated with it.
