Subject: RE: [ubl-ndrsc] Elements vs. attributes: discussion kickoff
Folks,
I tend
to agree. The only real use I can see for attributes of any kind is for genuine
meta-data as eluded by Matt. I prefer the use of attributes in schema when ever
possible as I find it much easier to map the elements to databases that need to
store the data contained the UBL instance documents. It certainly makes life
easier and less confusing. What we should be specifying then are the particular
instances when to use attributes, rather than creating a rule that satisfies an
80/20 situation, i.e.: ID, IDREF and xml:Lang as espoused by
Mark.
