That I believe there is an arbitrary difference between elements and attributes does not imply that data modeling is arbitrary; obviously there are better and worse ways to structure your data. It impossible to recommend a specific solution without fully understanding the specific problem Tom is trying to solve. The attribute vs element issue is a religious debate, and you're preaching. There is *NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER*. If you think that's bogus I suggest you step down from your podium for a moment to reread the Cover pages and the previous debates as you yourself advertised as "definitive".
