Description

It would be nice to support a terser and more readable syntax for `PropertyGroup`.

By making `Properties` an alias for `PropertyGroup` and allowing properties to be provided as attributes instead / in addition to child elements, this:

``` xml

A
B

```

could be simplified to

``` xml

```

This is a pretty big readability improvement.

It would also be nice to alias `Items` to `ItemGroup`.
