      Add to spec on page 0.5 DataModel/Object type:
      "A property name can be a technical name without meaning to an end user. For a user interface always the DisplayName should be used".

      Extend properties schema in object representation format to:
      <cmis:propertyXX cmis:name="property_name" cmis:displayName="My Property" cmis:index="ordinal_number">
      <cmis:value>property_value</cmis:value>
      </cmis:propertyXX>

      name and displayName should be mandatory

      It is unclear whether the property name is supposed to be exposed in a user interface and/or whether it can be a pure technical name. As the spec mentions to use the property name as part of a query it makes sense to allow this to be a technical name like PROP_1234. To avoid that a client needs to do a lookup in the type definition every time the property name is displayed to an end user the display name should always be exposed together with the query name where a property value appears.
