I have dropped this patch and the corresponding documentation patch for
now. This simplification is a separate issue from the move and there is
no consensus yet.
Basically the main issue with the port { endpoint { remote-endpoint=... } }
binding is that it is very verbose if you just need a single link.
Instead of removing the port node, we could also remove the endpoint node
and have the remote-endpoint property direcly in the port node.
