That would mean that...
<moneyTransfer>
<amount>$1,000,000</amount>
<account>daniel_account_number</account>
<account>tim_account_number</account>
</moneyTransfer>
which means "transfer $1,000,000 from daniel_account_number to
tim_account_number", but I can chose to apply the semantics: "transfer
$1,000,000 from tim_account_number to daniel_account_number"
