[Omaha.pm] database -> XML

[Rob Townley]

Several years ago, elements were better.

Elements would render better using css as compared to attributes.

Validation Schema or DTDs would have an easier time making sure a
given XML document conformed when it made heavy use of elements, but
had much more difficulty with attributes.

Is that still the case?
