Code
<person sex="female">


  <firstname>Anna</firstname>


  <lastname>Smith</lastname>


</person>


 


<person>


  <sex>female</sex>


  <firstname>Anna</firstname>


  <lastname>Smith</lastname>


</person>


 

In the first example sex is an attribute. In the last, sex is an element. Both examples provide the same information.
