Agree with the desire for flexibility, but it might be good to
have certain frequently used data structures "standardized", such
as personal information. I don't know if the Internet Drafts for
"SGML-based Hierarchical Attribute/Value Encoding (SHAVE)"
(draft-adie-spci-00.*) and "SGML-based Personal Contact Information
(SPCI)" (draft-adie-shave-00.*) are still being seriously
considered (they are due to expire April 1994), but they seemed
like a good approach.
In particular, the SPCI document proposed an actual DTD for Personal
Contact Information.
