From: Jim Amsden <jamsden@u...> > I think it's best to treat this as an object modeling problem first, and then > an XML representation Without going against object modeling or any other view, you should first be aware of any constraints in XML (Len's comment) and in your immediate software. If your editing software makes attributes easy, then use attributes. If your rendering/draft software does not support attributes well, use elements. You can do a simple translation of your DTD and document to convert from one form to another anyway. A DTD does not need to be set in stone. A markup language has to reconcile data modeling needs and human factors, with the latter being the most important. Rick Jelliffe xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
