What would be wrong with using a dedicated element for dealing with
call numbers? I probably understand you all wrong, but the idea of
using general-purpose elements decorated with custom attributes
doesn't appeal to me. To me, this always feels like a workaround for
an improperly designed DTD or Schema. I like it standardized and
simple.
