The question isn't about attributes in general, it is about *which* attributes. Consider the following: <D:prop> <theprop attr1="foo"> thevalue <subelem attr2="bar"/> </myprop> </D:prop> I believe everybody would agree that attr2 gets stored. The real question is about attr1. I see that attribute as part of the element that *names* a property, but it isn't part of the property *value*. IMO, PROP_ATTR is about defining the boundary between property naming, and a property's value. Cheers, -g On Tue, Apr 10, 2001 at 10:58:21PM -0700, Eric Sedlar wrote: > I agree.
