It's certainly possible to pack the value and the unit of measure into one attribute and many XML vocabularies do this. However, it makes life a bit more difficult for anyone processing the XML, so two attributes might be better.

Subject: can attribute in XML schema hold value and unit

Hi All,

I am creating a xml schema where I have to making a ‘attribute’ but can a attribute hold a value and unit.

My example is FlowRate, let’s the value and unit could be 100 GPM.

Can I have just one attribute for 100 and GPM both. Some times it might be 80 cFPS.

So can a attribute hold both or do I need element here.

Thanks,

Mangesh
