As far as using xml for database applications is concerned. There are other
contexts in which xml tags are more than just tags for transmission of data
between systems.

Either way, these tags are just for transmission of data
between
systems, not presentation to the user.
Whatever any CMS chooses to term
the field data to
their users is what they display to the user. XML
Tags are just for the techies to know which fields to place all
the
database data into that is being
transmitted.

I prefer exactly the
opposite. I would like to see developed a Party
object
and a non-Party object. The first could include persons, property
(for American practice involving in rem and forfeiture
actions), and
entities. The second could include
witnesses, lawyers, judges, staff,
victims,
etc.
Usually judges are interested first in who is and who is not a
litigant
before the Court. Basic treatment and
consideration is based upon this
distinction. The
objects should be crafted accordingly.
Another equivalent term could be litigants and
non-litigants.
Regards.
