The closest thing to a standard XML description is in RFC 3195, in the Cooked profile. But it looks like you don't like that. We have created our own format for storage, as I think have others. I would try to stick with the same names used in 3195 - don't make the mistake we made to use others... It can become very confusing, even in your own codebase ;)
Chris, while I never thought about this, would this make up for a new ID?
