                    Normally feature references that are nested under a parent element create a connection to that
                    parent. This behavior is undesirable when trying to simply reference a Feature in a different
                    Fragment.  Specify 'yes' to have this feature reference not create a connection to its parent.
                    The default is 'no'.
