"url" in this case feels like a type to me. I've also seen markup like:
<int_temp scale="F">9</int_temp>
and
<text_name>Simon</text_name>
Perversely Oriented Namespace Datatyping (POND) is an unwritten proposal
for doing the same with URI-identified types.
<pond xmlns:int="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#integer"
xmlns:text="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#string"
xmlns:uri="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI">
<int:temp scale="F">9</int:temp>
<text:name>Simon</text:name>
<url:homepage><!--whitespace -
is meaningless padding allowed in anyURI?
-->http://freshmeat.net/redir/dom4j/16508/url_homepage/<!--
--></url:homepage>
</pond>
Just for fun, of course.
