wondering what benefit to this other then some syntatic human orientated
sugar ?
u know extending the XML spec to do this would have a pretty serious
impact on other things such as XSLT, XPATH, etc...so its highly unlikely!
as a sidenote: have you checked out http://www.lmnl.net, its a good
example of taking what is existing and achieving something useful.
