As a lurker observing your discussion, I'd like to creep out from under my
stone and side with Charles - using the class attribute does give an
additional means of distinguishing elements, but its not enforceable by a
DTD, which in the real world means you're guaranteed to end up with
non-compliant documents that don't transform properly.

If Charles wins the argument, allow me to also recommend you use XmlMind
(www.xmlmind.com) as your editor. It's not open source, but it is free, and
is in my opinion the best XML document editor around. It's rock solid,
platform-independent (Java-based), provides a nice CSS-based document view
in the editor and is DTD-driven, so you can't help but make compliant
documents (and I'm a satisfied user, not the author...).

OK, time to creep back under the stone.

That's what the 'class' attribute is for.
