Ah I'd not done that bit yet :) I'd done it so that you can refer to
Endpoint instances as bean references inside a spring <property
name="foo" ref="someName"/>.

I've just implemented this so that now the <from> and <to> can be used
with the references

<from uri="theURI"/> or <from ref="theReference"/>

I've added a test case to show it in action...

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/camel/trunk/camel-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/endpointReference.xml

Along the way I also removed the unnecesary <routes> element, so a
context can look like

<camelContext>
  <endpoint ... />
  <endpoint ... />

  <route ... />
  <route ... />
</camelContext>

So you'll wanna so an 'svn up' of all of camel and try the new xsd etc.
