I think @Ignore supports as attribute a string. Now considering that
Java has native support for UTF-8 that "explanation/description"
string will not always make it to an XML attribute, so I am suggesting
a CDATA. This will also accomodate for the more advanced TestNG
SkipException.
For the rest it is just a matter on how to call the element: ignore,
skipped, etc.
I think I'm oke with either of the names, or if you have better ones
please speak up.
