I have been experimenting a bit with attributes, e.g. in this phrase:
<item>And even worse<ref/>, <ref name="att"/> attributes <ref/> will not be the
same as in &context;.</item>
1. In the third ref element, the value \XMLpar{ref}{name}{\relax} is
not relax. Because the element has no (rather an implicit)
attribute name, the context value is left as it was set by the
preceding ref element. I think it would be better if attribute
values are local to the element, and there exists a command that
lets the user store the value in a control sequence, much like
\defXMLstring\command.
2. When I use the attribute like this:
\doifXMLparelse{ref}{name}{(ref:\XMLpar{ref}{name}{})}{}, it would
be nice to have a shorter way to access the attribute value, say
\XMLattvalue. The above code contains two implicit if/then branches
for the attribute, the second not very useful.
