I don't think so.

It would make parser, the underlying xml schema and changes to the
meaning of the tags more difficult without any noticable advantage to
me. There was already a discussion about this some month ago in the
list.

Please, can you explain WHY you want to have specific tags instead of
the general way of specifying attributes?


Ciao, Imi.
