Indeed. The only very simple way I see to handle this is at authoring  
tool level. If we were making a pile on how XML markup languages are  
organized, there will be for layers, with the fundamental one at the  
bottom, what I would call the base.


Top
	value of attributes
	   attributes
	     element
	     content
Bottom

The only experience I have had so far with a "localized" language is  
AppleScript. I'll try to find a reference.
