Peter asked whether there are rules or guidelines in XML for when to use attributes versus elements. You will find a wealth of opinions on this topic. Partly this reflects the wealth of options that XML gives you and the fact that XML can be employed for many purposes. You may want to take a look at "XML Syntax Recommendation for Serializing Graphs of Data" (http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/pp/microsoft-serializing.html) for a suggestion on how to use XML for serializing programming objects and data from databases. -Andrew Layman xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
