You might be interested in checking out what Web-DAV has to offer in this area. I'm not very familiar with Web-DAV, but I think it addresses this sort of thing. -----Original Message----- From: Per Roger Johannessen [mailto:gt9919a@p...] Sent: Monday, July 06, 1998 2:06 PM To: xml-dev@i... Subject: Tags vs PCDATA Hi, Which way is the best way to query a database, with tags or PCDATA? See below for examples. Is any of the two alternatives below considered "bad style"? Does it really matter? PCDATA-type: <Message> <Query>Name</Query> </Message> with the response: <Message> <Answer> <Name>Foo</Name> </Answer> </Message> Tag-type: <Message> <Query> <Name/> </Query> </Message> with the same response as above. As I see it, the tag type has the advantage that it is the same tag (eg. <Name>) in the query as in the answer. You can limit the queries to the same tags allowed for the answers in a DTD. On the other hand it takes a bit more effort to find what you query for.
