> The current impl of <assign> still supports "name" and "location" attributes, which is not in line with the SCXML WD. SCXML only defines the "location" attribute.
> The impl of <assign> uses the evalLocation() function of the evaluator to determine the location and evalLocation() has to return a Node. But this does not work for non-XML datamodels. 
> Non-XML datamodels worked using the "name" atribute (which used the set() function of the context). But the "name" attribute is no longer standardized. Thus <assign> only has the "location" attribute and  it needs to support XML and non-XML data models. 
> The question is, whether <assign> should manipulate the DOM tree or whether it is the responsibility of the context to manipulate the data.
