i have no particular insight into this particular issue, but as
multi-platform host developer, i would not that i would much rather
see this as an extension of MIDNAM and not something specific to AU

one other note: developing XML DTDs is typically a very hard problem

"agile" fashion, then refine and formalize it once you've got what you
need and then finally propose that other people use it.
