Property Description
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also 
defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often sub-classed to be

Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of 
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the 
Name and ElementName properties.
