Headings: XML vs. XSL

[John Martin]

In general, is it better to code headings into XML or to handle them
with XSL?  For instance, I want my output to look like:

Effective date:  July 1, 1999

Would I code my DTD as

<POLICY-EFFECTIVE>
<POLICY-EFFECTIVE-HEADING>Effective Date:</POLICY-EFFECTIVE-HEADING>
<POLICY-EFFECTIVE-DATE>July 1, 1999</POLICY-EFFECTIVE-DATE>
</POLICY-EFFECTIVE>

Or would it be better/more efficient to code it as:

<POLICY-EFFECTIVE-DATE>July 1, 1999</POLICY-EFFECTIVE-DATE>

and add the heading in with XSL.

Thanks,
John
