ConnectionABCD elements can be indexed or named (assigned a Name , NameU , or ID attribute). By default, if the user does not name the connections for a shape, they are assigned index attributes.

If one ConnectionABCD element is named for a shape, all the ConnectionABCD elements must be named for that shape. However, ConnectionABCD elements do not need to be named using the same attribute.
