I'm currently designing the XML to be used within an multi language application. I would like to know if there is any official recommendation about how to nest an element that offers multi-language values. This is how I would do this traditionally: <root> <titles> <title xml:lang="en"/> <title xml:lang="fr"/> </titles> <body>body text</body> </root> And this is an alternative: <root> <title xml:lang="en"/> <title xml:lang="fr"/> <body>body text</body> </root> The latter will lead to much less verbose XML but the titles tags aren't wrapped up in a single extensible parent. I would be very grateful if someone could point me to somewhere which advises on best practice here. Thanks Tom _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN Search Toolbar now includes Desktop search! http://join.msn.com/toolbar/overview
