there is an example:

<books>
<book isbn="0345374827">
<title>The Great Shark Hunt</title>
<author>Hunter S. Thompson</author>
</book>
</books>

why isn't it:

<books>
<book isbn="0345374827" title ="The Great Shark Hunt" author="Hunter
S. Thompson"
</book>
</books>

or

<books>
<book
<isbn>0345374827</isbn>
<title>The Great Shark Hunt</title>
<author>Hunter S. Thompson</author>
</book>
</books>

So far I have understood that the 3 notations are legal. But are they
identical ?
