I'm working on AS7-1211. The spec descriptor has the look-name element.

Pull request https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/283 is in. Which 
is a stop-gap solution for CCE and pass-by-value.
There are more issues at hand here, like passing back remote proxies

Entities should be split off to a separate subsystem if we really want 
to properly distinguish them in another profile.
The same goes for MDBs, but CMP/BMP is something we should not enable by 
default.

Most descriptor bits should be in place. I'm already doing some more 
extensive testing and fixing of the entity elements.
