Re: element content

I generally try to avoid (data) unless I really need the content
in a string (to stuff it in an attribute in the SGML back end,
to print it in an error message, to shift it to upper/lower
case, etc.).

Since you lose all internal markup with (data),
(process-children) usually seems like a better choice...
