	// TODO: is it really necessary to provide Configuration to CollectionPersisters ?
	// Should it not be enough with associated class ? or why does EntityPersister's not get access to configuration ?
	//
	// The only reason I could see that Configuration gets passed to collection persisters
	// is so that they can look up the dom4j node name of the entity element in case
	// no explicit node name was applied at the collection element level.  Are you kidding me?
	// Trivial to fix then.  Just store and expose the node name on the entity persister
	// (which the collection persister looks up anyway via other means...).
