  I was refering to the repetition of the element type in the
  closing tag.

  Unotal, another language for annotated trees, would render

<transaction id="abc123">
   <item code="xyz789" quantity="3" price="29.99" account="1234567890"/>
</transaction>

  as

< &transaction id=abc123 
  < &item code=xyz789 quantity=3 price=29.99 account=1234567890 >>

  It uses ">" instead of "</transaction>". So this is shorter, but it
  might be more difficult to find errors in human-written code or to
  be read by a human.

  (Attribute values need only be quoted in Unotal if they contain
  special characters the set of which does not include
  characters matched by the regular expression [a-z0-9.] as used
  in the attribute values above.)
