/ ari@cogsci.ed.ac.uk (K. Ari Krupnikov) was heard to say:
| * XML attributes on an element can be viewed as a relation named by
|   that element and vice versa.
|
| <PERSON NAME="K. Ari Krupnikov" EMAIL="ari@cogsci.ed.ac.uk" READS="xml-dev"/>

You've got human readable text in that attribute value. The
possibility exists that this will come back and bite you someday, for
example, if someone with an appropriately unusual name requires some
bidi override in that context. Or if you need an element to represent
an external graphic in someone's name.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
