Sabine:

You probably knew this already, but the subject of elements vs. attributes
has been very widely discussed.
The place to start is Robin Cover's "Cover Pages".  Specifically,
   http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/elementsAndAttrs.html
This not only discusses the issue in detail, it points to a lot of other
places that carry on the discussion.
