Expression variable names in delegates

Why is it that the Expression variable names in the delegates have to be exactly the same as in the xml?The user guide just shows how the delegate is supposed to look like but does not explain why or anything.for exampleublic class HelloWorldDelegate implements JavaDelegate { private Expression

I am still stuck on this.
This is a wierd design that the name of the Expression variables in the delegate should be the same as the ones in the bpmn xml file.
I generate the BPMN dynamically as the user uses my software. So in my situation I dont know whats going to go into the xml at run time. I know its prefix but not the full name. Therefore I dont know the Expression Variable names and cant hard code them in the delegate before hand.
Because of this I have the Activiti is throwing the exception below.
My xml:
- <activiti:field name="SomeVariablePrefix_MapEntry_Property5">
<activiti:string>Hello World</activiti:string>
</activiti:field>

So at runtime I could have a map that I want to put in the xml. However the names of the keys are dynamic and are not known till run time.
SomeVariablePrefix_MapEntry_Property5 = Hello World
SomeVariablePrefix_MapEntry_Property6 = ABCD EFG
SomeVariablePrefix_MapEntry_Property7 = Wassup with Activiti
