[CAP] Newbe suggestion for CAP XML

[Art Botterell]

David -

Since fairly early on we took a stylistic choice to avoid the use of 
attributes if we could... different participants had different 
reasons and I won't attempt to recap that whole discussion just now.

However, I hope you don't mind if I forward your note to the 
public-comment list for the OASIS Technical Committee that's working 
on the spec now to see if there's a desire there to revisit this 
point.

Thanks!

- Art
