Review Comment:
Since all reports are output format agnostic, the output path does not
contain any extension, this is handled by a sink. Basename of the output file.
E.g., index, foo, etc. How would you word it?

> with [~kriegaex], there are few conceptional or documentational issues with

> * {{#getOutputName()}} does not clearly say that is actually an optional base
> *path* and base name (base location) of the report item from a reporting
> output directory. It needs at least a doc update and maybe even a rename to
> {{#getOutputPath()}}/{{#getOutputPathLocation()}}?
> * Both {{#setReportOutputDirectory(File outputDirectory)}} and
> {{#getReportOutputDirectory()}} documentation imply tha this directory solely
> refers to this single report, but that is not correct. It refers to root
> directory which contains all possibly generated reports. A shared directory,
> not exclusive one. Consider your report generates in a subdir, then these do
> *not* refer to it, but to its parent.
