The {{joiner}} attribute has {{use="required"}} in _wildfly-elytron_1_0.xsd_.
*Suggestions for improvement:*
In case it makes sense to have no joiner, the joiner should not be required. (There could
be reasonable cases.) Otherwise, the CLI {{joiner}} attribute should be declared as
{{"nillable" => false}}.
The XSD {{joiner}} attribute should have defined {{default="."}}.
