Well. Then there's only One Right Way, clearly:
<Cost>
<Dollars>
<Hundreds>zero</Hundreds>
<Hundredths>five</Hundredths>
<Tens>zero</Tens>
<Tenths>nine</Tenths>
<Thousands>zero</Thousands>
<Thousandths>zero</Thousandths>
<Units>eight</Units>
</Dollars>
</Cost>
Element names obviously depend upon language, as does text content.
Isn't this just *vastly* more clear? And all the elements are required
to be in alphabetical order, so you can see if you've missed one!
Amy!
