That's not the way XML is supposed to work. The names are
supposed to say what something is, not to indicate the type.
In a DTD, additional type information should go into
comments. If you want to express/check these, use XML Schema
or Relax or Schematron or a script.

If it's the preferred value, call it that. The idea of XML
is that people understand as much as possible from the data
and markup itself.
