In effect, XML does not care how much tagging you use. You have to determine the requirements of the information in the dimensions in which that information participates and by which it may be referenced. A reference by unambigous name value is the easiest. Having the logical structure and the name it provides may not be optimal for other processes/dimensions. You can use non-name link and location types such as counting in a text string (eg, split) but as the complexity of naming decreases, there is usually a complementary increase in the complexity of processing to locate a unique item. Uniqueness and persistence are the requirements for identity. It is a level of detail issue. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
