Since whitespace is highly significant in XML you are recommended to
write it this way:

<title><phrase role="foo">My Foo Product</phrase><phrase role="bar">My
Bar Product</phrase></title>

This may or may not bother you...

XML is a work around to make the HTML crowd happy -- let's hope they
will switch to xhtml some time soon.
