since it is XML, keep everything lower-case and no extra "sdp" prefix.
It should be enough to call the root element "record". And I think it is
better and easier to use something like:

	<data type="uuid16" value="0x1002"/>

And to be fully in sync with the specification we need to differentiate
between text8, text16 and text32 (and of course for url, too). For
convenience we can then have all data types without the size value and
then the server will determine the most appropriate one by itself.

Actually at the moment you have to let the server pick the record
handle, because specifying the handle doesn't work. It should work, but
I never found the actual bug in the code that prevents it.

Using the proposed way of the "data" element, we can have special values
for "value" like "%channel" etc. that can be filled in by the server.
