Re: [xsl] Speed difference attributes vs elements

Hi,

One of the ideas of using XML at all, instead of just cooking your own 
small language, is that reliable and unambigous parsing comes for free.

With

> <problem
>    models="long list"
>    software_releases="long list"
> >

you are throwing out some of the advantage -- you again have to parse 
manually, probably introducing a bug somewhere.

This is much nicer in that respect, and if you use XSL you'll probably 
have something working much sooner. That's a real performance 
consideration too :)
