    This is no big deal. E.g.:

<var>the net income per year</var>     could have been
<var name="the net income per year"/>

But when designing RuleML, we wanted to minimize the use of XML attributes.
Since <http://www.ruleml.org/indtd.html> we have uniformly used the PCDATA
content, rather than CDATA attribute values, as names of ind(ividual)s,
var(iable)s, etc. This has also left us the option of embedded XHTML etc.

A question about RuleML.

Why doesn't ruleml.var take the variable name as an attribute?  This seems
to be a very good place to use an attribute.
