Thanks for the response. It does give me some reassurance that there isn't some earth-heaving fundamental reason I am missing. :)

There is no information that I can think of that could not be
represented in XML or SGML without attributes, and attributes add a
noticeable amount of additional complexity to XML APIs.
Personally, I like attributes and I'm glad that we took them from
SGML, but I won't pretend that there's any justification other than
stylistic preference.
