Subject: src: change XML output format to use element instead of attributes

There are some problems in using attributes:

* they cannot contain multiple values (child elements can)
* they are not easily expandable (for future changes)
* they cannot describe structures (child elements can)
* they are more difficult to manipulate by program code
* attribute values are not easy to test against a DTD

Extracted from "XML Elements vs. Attributes" at:

http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/dtd_el_vs_attr.asp

For more information.
