Yes, but that has all kinds of implications, in fact it turns the whole
language upside down. For example it means that if someone writes <x
color="red"> then you can't process it without knowing whether color is
defined in the schema as a single string or a list of strings.
I'm not saying other choices weren't possible; I'm just saying that
you're now in the business of designing a completely different language.
And you probably want to start by redesigning XML...
