    Please strongly consider adding an XML namespace to this; it gives some
    measure of version control and you can use XSLT (where possible) to
    migrate cleanly from one version to the next.

    I know this might seem less useful for a hand-maintained NOTES but
    getting practice in addressing some of the complaints levelled against
    the adoption of XML by picking the useful bits of the technology is (I
    think) a good idea.

    Cheers,

Generalisation is never appropriate.
