Which will bring up an interesting issue: if a given piece of information
can be designated as being of type NMTOKEN and treated the same by the
parser regardless of whether it's an attribute or element, then one of the
key distinctions between attributes and elements (and hence one of the key
criteria in deciding whether to make something an attribute or a subelement)
is no longer relevant.
