In my office I can always tell when somebody else has been digging
around
in the code because I get lots of <xsl:attribute/> tags appearing. I
think
it's just a syntax that doesn't really fit into the whole XML tag idea.

Also can I ask why < and > aren't allowed in attributes in XML/XSL. Is
it
just to make parsing easier?
