Each attribute of the XML element corresponds to setting a property of the object instance.

An XML element may also have "attributes", a construct that csexp does not share.

Finally, an XML element may contain comments and/or processing instructions.

The picture on the right shows how the XML elements refer to the individual panels within a given layout.

For example the XML element for a person's given (first) name would be expressed as:

XML elements with unknown names are treated as if they are generic text.

An XML element, however, can be transformed - depending on the context- as a subject, a predicate or object of a triple.

XML elements are never implicitly inserted into the document.

Attributes on XML elements cannot directly be edited.

They are represented by a single XML element with the value as its content.
