Would a shot be better defined as:

<shot from="1" to="2" azimuth="22.5" distance="3.3" inclination="-2"/>

or

<shot>
        <from value="1"/>
        <to value="2"/>
        <azimuth value="22.5"/>
        <distance value="3.3"/>
        <inclination value="-2"/>
</shot>

?

The first one is an easy, one line format. The second allow for other attributes to be added to each
element.. ie.

        <inclination value="-400" units="mills"/>

or

        <inclination value="-2" type="foresight" note="Richard really hosed this shot!"/>

In the one line format, this could get ugly with attributes like inclination_units="mills" ,
inclination_type="foresight", etc.

Which also begs the question, would it be better to have separate attributes/elements for fore/backsights
or one base with different attributes?

Note, there isn't a restriction on how many azimuths, distances, or inclinations can be put into one shot.

Or is it still too soon to discuss this?
