Thanks. Instead of using the lang entry I can imagine these other approaches:2. Adding something specific to GLEP 68, like `<upstream><reference type="doi"> https...`. However that seems like a bit too much work for adding something that only a small subset of users (science) cares about.
<upstream> <reference uri='doi:10.17487/rfc6120'/> </upstream> sounds perfectly fine.It would require (minor) adjustments to the schema and DTD. And besides that, packages that do not have a use for this information do not have to pay a cost. Hence, I am not sure why you assume its too much work.
Also integration of parsing with existing tools is an extra overhead.
Most XML parsers are non-strict. Which means that they ignore elements that they do not know. Therefore, the same argument as above can be made: tools that do not need to extract the information, should not require any adjustments.
