In a MKIV file using the approved method of structuring projects, does the \product tag do anything or is it just internal documentation for the source file? When I process a file called book.tex and containing the tag: \product foobar the result is a file called book.pdf, just as if the tag did not exist.
The name of the output file is always the name of the main input file and you can only change this with the result option for context/texexec scripts. The \product command is a special version of \input and the given file is only read when the command appears in a project file and since it is no longer recommended to use a project as main file the command has no real purpose except a internal reference (in a component) to the parent file.
