Re: XML tag usage question

["Simon North" <sintac -at- home -dot- nl>]

Sara, 

I can see where the guy is coming from; an element attribute is usually 
more or less synonymous with a property of the data it identifies, but this is 
a gross generalization as it could instead be meta data that is meaningful in 
a higher context (like in a HyTime link, but in a way also in something like 
an HTML hyperlink or the target of a image element). 

If you have the time, make the change; I think you'd feel happier about it in 
the future. If time really doesn't permit, go for the disclaimer.
