I prefer an attribute-based XML. Not only is is more compact, but it
more closely parallels the way data is stored in an RDBMS. Your XML
above would be written:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<product category="desserts">
<item sku="Banadess3nz4Zv" price="10.43" inventory="0" vendor="The
Baking Pan">Banana Split</item>
</product>
