Mike Beckerle closed DAFFODIL-401.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

No ticket needed for this. It is discussed as desirable on our Wiki for DFDL futures.

We have too many Jira tickets to be trying to use them for wish list also.

> We need an extension to DFDL to allow schema authors to declare they would like a element child to instead appear in an XML-conversion of the DFDL infoset as an XML attribute.
> So instead of <foo><bar>1</bar><baz>2</baz></foo>, you can get the more human friendly <foo bar="1" baz="2"/> as the XML-conversion.
> The property cannot be in the DFDL property namespace; hence daffodil: prefix, not dfdl: prefix:
> Possible names: daffodil:asXMLAttribute="true" or daffodil:XMLConversion="asAttribute"
