<snip/> stuff I agree with from MB about the disadvantages of
micro-parsing.
Here's another one:
What can you do with <amount currency="UKL">34.00</amount> that you
can't do with <amount>34.00UKL</amount>?
Answer: Sort a bunch of them reliably _as numbers_ with XSLT. The
significance of this goes quite deep, it seems to me.
