Comment:

 Pete Peterson wrote in an email:

 People preferred having everything in tags and attributes...
 How about this example:
 {{{
 <field name="data">
   <dimensions size="3"/>
   ...
 </field>
 <field name="time-of-flight">
   <dimensions size="1">
     <dim index="1" ref="data" refindex="3" incr="1"/>
   </dimensions>
   ...
 </field>
 }}}

 In old terms this would make data[i,j,k] and time-of-flight[k+1].
 We need to get to the stage where people
 don't need to read a manual to understand an existing NXDL.
