I have detailed the exact figures earlier. The 1/3'rd reduction came
from running a transform which applied this rule to all the templates &
archetypes in the NHS repository branch & doing a before & after comparison.
To recap quickly - usually elements are not called "A" but are called
things like "terminology_id" so you get
<terminology_id>
ISO_639-1
</terminology_id>
vs
<terminology_id value="ISO_639-1"/>
But them you then also get:
<terminology_id>
<value>ISO_639-1</value>
</terminology_id>
