Augh. Never mind attributes vs elements: PIs, now there's a wart that gives vocabulary designers an escape hatch from proper design. As for framing, what I've seen in some places is using a form feed character (which is illegal in XML) to separate concatenated documents. That's not perfect, but at least it's much better than using offsets, as you can trivially resynch with a stream if you miss few packets: just wait long enough and the next FF will come along.
