I prefer it the new way - it's less verbose without getting cryptic & gives me more possibilities! Nice one :) Regarding learning / ease of use IMHO the best way is to provide *up to date* dtds or xsds so one can use content assist in an IDE. This together with the docs / examples would fulfill my needs. Perhaps you people could make a page where all dtds & xsds are listed and try to get them up to date?
