    Unhappy XML: Attribute or Value?

    Hi,
    I'm quite confused what I should choose.
    Let's say I have a XML file for calendar.

    Is is better to use
    <Birthday>
    <Name>Sister</Name>
    <Month>8</<Month>
    <Day>24</Day>
    </Birthday>
    or
    <Birthday Name="Sister" Month="8" Day="24 />
    or even <Birthday MonthDay="24.8.">Sister</Birthday>?

    What's the difference?

    I definately wouldn't do your 3rd idea, but there is not much difference between 1 and 2 and it's really an implementation decision. Just determine how you are going to use the data and which is easier.
