Actually, I view the example in a different light (reproduced below):
[[[
<section><title>Book-Signing Event</title>
<signing>
<author title="Mr" name="Vikram Seth" />
<book title="A Suitable Boy" price="$22.95" /></signing>
<signing>
<author title="Dr" name="Oliver Sacks" />
<book title="The Island of the Color-Blind" price="$12.95"
/></signing>
</section>
]]]
In my opinion, The more semantically correct attribute name for the
"title" attribute of the "author" element would be "prefix", not
"title". So (with all due respect to the author of this example), I
personally don't believe that this is the best example to illustrate the
concepts.
Kind Regards,
