I can't claim a lot of experience with XML, but seriesList does look a bit
clunky. I am tempted to suggest serieses as the name of the outer element!
Can you call series something else? There are other words that mean much
the same thing - list, sequence, succession, chain, run - all of which
have normal plurals. Or is series a word from your domain vocabulary that
can't be changed?

Probably slightly off topic, but hopefully someone can give me some
insight to best practice.
My problem is I've got an element that's name is an irregular noun,
in this case "series"
So all the "series" elements need to be put inside another element,
currently I'm using "seriesList" because the plural of series is
series:
<seriesList>
<series>...</series>
<series>...</series>
<series>...</series>
</seriesList>
A colleague told me that this may be considered bad practice in
naming XML elements.
Can someone with more experience with XML let me know if my solution
is alright?
