Abstraction? It is represented as name-value pair but it could have been a tuple, say a name-value-datatype triple. (Maybe it will be extended one day.) It would still be an attribute.

Hi Folks,

Someone once told me:

Call it what it is.
Don’t invent some artificial name.

The items in yellow:

<Person name="John Doe" employer="Acme Inc." age="30">…</Person>

are name-value pairs.

Why does XML call them “attributes”?
