How about making a short named tag that looks for attributes and sets
a variable with the name of the attribute?
With that you'd end up with something like this:
<insert-order>
<val received-date>6-4-2009</val>
<val from>Mike Hogan</val>
<val total-cost>34.76</val>
</insert-order>
This assumes that only one attribute will be passed to the tag at a
time.
