I find  'on_missing'  to be a bit of wierd attribute name
given the attribute values. Seeing it doesn't immediately
make it clear to me what it does.

If we're going to call it on_missing, then the attribute
values need some other kind of name

  on_missing='fail|continue|drop'


Or to keep these attribute names, I'd go for something like

  startPolicy="mandatory|requisite|optional";


If we resolve the naming decision, the patch looks fine
