why not just

foo {}

Makes sense.  I like this better, than my version.

What about:

library
 {
   book
   {
     @id {text}, @available {text},
     isbn {text},
     title  {@xml:lang {text}, text},
     author {@id {text}, name {text}, born {text}, dead {text}?}*,
     character {@id {text}, name {text}, born {text}, qualification {text}}*
   } +
 }
