Is there a formal rule for the use of Atrributes vs Elements? The assumption I am going on (per The XML Primer) is that Attributes are best used to communicate information to the browser/application, and Elements are best used for actual Data. Is this a valid assumption? In an EDI transaction, I was going to put the Header and Trailer information in attributes, with the actual Detail Segments as Elements... Any thoughts?
