In fact, I wrote yesterday the DTD and I followed this behavior more
frequently. Here is the new example following the DTD:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<demexp_base version="1.0">

  <participant_base>
    <participant kind="individual"> <!-- or "delegate" -->
      <login>root</login>
      <password>md5pass</password>
      <group>admin</group>
      <group>demexp</group>
    </participant>

  </participant_base>

  <classification_base>
    <next_identification_number>13</next_identification_number>

    <classification_entry id="12">
      <path>/</path>
      <keyword>free software</keyword>
      <subkeyword>demexp </subkeyword>
      <subkeyword>emacs</subkeyword>
      <cl_entry_question>Is demexp free software?</cl_entry_question>
      <cl_entry_question>Is free software compatible with 
business?</cl_entry_question>
    </classification_entry>
  </classification_base>

  <delegation_base>
    <delegation>
      <delegator kind="individual">david</delegator>
      <delegate>delegate_fred</delegate>
      <classification domain="0110001"/>
         <!-- domain is a binary vector of keywords ids -->
    </delegation>

  </delegation_base>

  <position_base>
    <question>
      <description>Is demexp free software?</description>
      <author>david</author>
      <limit_date>none</limit_date>
      <group>demexp</group>

      <response id="0">
        <description>Yes</description>
        <author>fred</author>
        <link>http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/demexp</link>
      </response>

      <vote>
        <individual>identifier</individual>
        <choice is="1"/> <!-- elements are ordered so having elements instead 
of 
                              attributes is crucial here -->
        <choice is="3"/>
      </vote>

      <vote>
        <delegate domain="0001001">name</delegate>
        <choice is="0"/>
      </vote>

      <elected_response>0</elected_response>
      <elected_response>1</elected_response> <!-- in case of several winners -->
      
    </question>
  </position_base>

</demexp_base>

The naming of the "is" attribute in  <choice is="1"/> tag does not
satisfy me completely but I haven't found sommething better.

Yours,
d.
