About the name dfdl:elementAlias

It suggests that this is another element name, and in other contexts
than a choice it might be used as well, and in addition it suggests
that the dfdl:choiceBranchRef can evaluate to the element name, or to
this alias.

I think the definition of all this behavior should be narrower, and
the names should suggest this.

dfdl:choiceBranchRef
dfdl:choiceBranchID

seem like the right pairing. A choice branch ref can refer to exactly
and only the choice branch ID, never the element name, and this ID is
used only for choice branch ref purposes.
