• Thread-topic: The subsetting has begun

An example I can think is a developer who prefers to process XML that
looks like 

 <customers>
   <name>Adam</name>
   <id>1</id>
   <name>Bob</name>
   <id>2</id>
   <name>Charles</name>
   <id>3</id>
 </customers>

as opposed to 

<customers>
  <customer>
   <name>Adam</name>
   <id>1</id>
  </customer>
  <customer>
   <name>Bob</name>
   <id>2</id>
  </customer>
  <customer>
   <name>Charles</name>
   <id>3</id>
  </customer>
 </customers>
