We are looking for best practice trends in XML development generally, and developing our own standards for a niche industry from scratch.  Thanks for the links.  I'm sure reviewing them will shed light on the question.

What industry? There are repositories of industry DTDs available, i.e. cXML
( http://www.cxml.org/ ), ebXML ( http://www.ebxml.org/ ), OASIS (
http://oasis-open.org/ ), HL7 ( http://www.hl7.org/ ), Acord
(http://www.acord.org/ )

Hi all:
There is an office controversy brewing about node normalization - where no
elements have attributes, only dependent nodes.  Supposedly there is an
industry trend toward node normalization, and some are worried that we'll be
out of sync.  However, I have not found any documentation referencing this
'trend' - have you heard anything about this?  Can anyone point to any
resources for this discussion, or even any thoughts either way?
Currently we are using a mix of child nodes and attributes, and this seems
intuitively logical to me - but this is the best argument I can make - I
just like it better. ;-) 
TIA,
Nik
