Hi all,
I read the discussion regarding XML-output from the email archive.
And the following message made me to post:

I my opinion (and in our experience) the better way in many cases
is to use a lot of <something> ... </something> instead of
parameters like <thisone something="...">.
The main reason for this is that you cannot expect XML
documents to be stored as single files. In many cases they
will be broken up and handled by database systems like
Oracle or DB2. The use of paremeters may add unnecessary
complications with some applications.
Therefore I would like both alternatives to exist if it is
not too complicated.
Well, but that is just my opinion...
Best regards
