I agree with the idea of staying with
start-tag/end-tag/attribute/pcdata. Most people do.
I also agree that with document-oriented applications, white space
handing is a *nightmare*. Less of a nightmare in XML than SGML because
at least mere mortals can comprehend which whitespace is part of the
data. Not a big deal in database/tuple/transactions in my experience. -Tim
