Something I'm seeing more and more are examples of XML documents that
are
effectively name-value pairs because they want to describe their data in
Schema but can't put a minOccurs="0" ahead of the slurping vortex
that is xs:any. And then there is the adverse effect that xs:any has in
a number of databinding tools..
<person>
<value name="title">Mr</value>
<value name="first">Monty</value>
<value name="last">Python</value>
</person>
seems to be a typical work-round - and the worst of both worlds.
