this is a snippet from a "request": (see http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/Requests)

<state name="foobar" who="poeml" when="2008-03-06T10:14:49" /> <history name="new" who="poeml" when="2008-03-04T23:46:37" />

Would it be more logical to change that to

<state name="foobar" who="poeml" when="2008-03-06T10:14:49" /> <statehistory name="new" who="poeml" when="2008-03-04T23:46:37" />

because for <history> it isn't very clear what it's about?

With <statehistory>, it is more obvious what "name" means.

As "history" (or "statehistory") has exactly the same attributes as "state" I think it would even be desirable to use the same tag here. The current state would be denoted by the highest "when" value. This could be made more explicit by adding an "current=true" attribute or putting it into an extra tag.
