yup, of course - that is what I need - but still a nagging issue:
I want to put markup in the attribute but that is illegal
viz.

xml:
John <alt executive="is creating" other="has created"
another="<i>will</i> create"/>

I like the idea of putting these alt(ernates) in attributes
rather than as tags cause it is much easier to maintain and much
more readable in the xml but - I am asking for too much in the
request above, it seems.
