That is going to be treated like an attribute. And that'll be a
nightmare and unfeasible (albeit not impossible) to use like that. A DTD
would be unworkable (schema likewise). Actually, ~I~ wouldn't know how
to make that work well but others can pipe in.
I think a better structure would be:
<scanner>
<plugin id="10180" value="no"/>
<plugin id="10277" value="yes"/>
..
..
</scanner>

Same basic problem (attribute) and made worse by using spaces and
special characters. If it was <plugins></plugins> w/ CDATA and proper
encoding (hex values) in-between, plus UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 specified at
the top... ack...
Renaud asked me to work on a DTD over the break and these are some of
the issues I ran into. I was going to ping Renaud this weekend but this
is a well-enough opening. Lionel? Renaud?
Maybe it's my lack of understanding but I think bits of the new format
are pretty unworkable and/or incorrect.
If ya'll disagree, just tell me to shove it. If you agree or are unsure
I can work on an alternative with you. -Ali
p.s. Renaud, get a chance to look at the schema I sent you before the
break?
