The last. I assume that if you're asking this question, you're not  
going for your own preferences, and you don't know what the user's  
preferences are. I'm also assuming that she'll know at least a little  
from a distance about the original XML. Using something as close as  
possible to that is probably the most helpful, and easiest to remember.
