I like to store data in child elements.
The following three XML documents contain exactly the same information:
A date attribute is used in the first example:
<note date="12/11/2002"><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>
A date element is used in the second example:
<note><date>12/11/2002</date><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>
An expanded date element is used in the third: (THIS IS MY FAVORITE):
<note><date> <day>12</day> <month>11</month> <year>2002</year></date><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>
