I believe it is now time to address the question of whether Attribute should be supported in SML or not. I think it is clear that attributes are needed under the 'tradition' view of markup where all character data is considered to be 'content'. I think this view is just as dangerous and restricting as the 'sacred main document structure' view. Unless there are compelling needs for attributes beyond the need to preserve 'sacred content', I believe attributes should be removed. So here is the question I put to you: "Why should attributes be supported in SML?" In order to keep this thread to a manageable level of noise, please limit yourself one reason per message to sub-threads should be created if necessary to focus on one particular reason per thread.
