5.5.3 Dicts, strings and XML

The XML representation could benefit significantly from the new features. In due time we plan to provide an set of alternative predicates and options to existing predicates that can be used to exploit the new types. We propose the following changes to the data representation:

• The attribute list of the element(Name, Attributes, Content) will become a dict.
• Attribute values will remain atoms
• CDATA in element content will be represented as strings
