Please don't do this. If you are going to use an XML paradigm for
your DSL then stick to it. There is nothing that makes my skin crawl
more than seeing tags as attribute values.
Aside from pure aesthetics (which is considerable), there is the
matter of tooling. I can find extensible WYSIWYG XML widgets (they're
not as common or as cheap as I'd like) and none of them will never be
able to handle this (IMHO, extending XML widgets may be better in the
long term than wrapping textile or what have you). And and you'll
never be able to debug it.
I hate that we do this now for HTML attribute values, lets not
pollute the paradigm more. Otherwise rolling something into HAML
would be better (I'm guessing)
YAY! Someone who agrees with me!
The caveat, of course, is that often you need to put Radius tags
inside the attributes of HTML tags. But that's because Radius is not
strict XML, but interpolated. When explaining Radius to a local web
design meetup, one sorta-technical guy suggested we use an XML
parser/XSLT and I had to tell him no. It only looks like it could be.
