What is the best way to inform users of an XML document of its representation conventions? One approach is to inform users by adding more stuff to the XML document, e.g.,
<altitude
units="feet"
reference="mean
sea level">10</altitude>
But now we’ve got to inform users of the representation conventions of the new stuff.
Yikes! We’ve entered an infinite regress.
Adding more stuff to the XML document doesn’t seem to be the best way to inform users of its representation conventions.
What is the best way to inform users of the representation conventions used by an XML document?
