I would propose the following, standard-compliant approach,
illustrated by the sample below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE _ [
<!ELEMENT _ (#PCDATA|_)* >
<!ATTLIST _ _ CDATA #REQUIRED>
]>
<_ _='document'>
<_ _='head'>
<_ _='title'>ScoreXML</_>
</_>
<_ _='body'>
<_ _='p'>This is a ScoreXML sample</_>
</_>
</_>
The overhead is only one character for end-tags (six for start-tags),
and there is a 1-1 mapping to any xml document...
Cheers,
Eric Bréchemier
