I know that when I had to use xslt to display some xml
that this was easier to show

<phone type="home">
        <country>??</country>
        <citycode><citycode>
        <area>916</area>
        <exchange>338</exchange>
        <number>1234</number>
        <extension>34</extionsion>
</phone>

in html format (parsed through xslt) than it was to pick these out...

<phone title="Main" number="1234567890" ext="10" type="Mobile"/>

just my travels.

Or you could do this....
<phone type="home">
        <country>??</country>
        <citycode><citycode>
        <area>916</area>
        <exchange>338</exchange>
        <number>1234</number>
        <extension>34</extionsion>
</phone>

I'm not sure about best practices... but I do remember from my XML
studies, it depends on what your needs are, and designing the XML
document is the real challenge/art.  Parsing it afterwards is easy.

What's the best way to store phone numbers in XML?

<phone>1234567890</phone>
 or maybe...
<phone title="Main" number="1234567890" ext="10" type="Mobile"/>

Is there a standard?  Best practice?

Does anyone know of resources that would include best practices like
this, with examples (not just for phone numbers)?
