Question: for the developers:
1. What determines whether a piece of information is embedded as an attribute or as a separate tag. Eg: Check has 3 attributes, but install has only command.

It's up to you, as a system administrator, to determine how many checks you have and how many install commands you use (you can have more than one install command - see "silent installers" in the wiki for examples).



Hmm. Didn't make myself clear. This is not a question on how to do something, but one of why it is done in a particular way.

Let me try again.

The package tag has 5 attributes, each which can take a value.
The install tag has the command attribute, and an additional tag, exit. Why is exit a separate tag, instead of being an attribute of install?

More generally, what is the reason to encode data as an attribute instead of a tag?
