Great!

Good idea.

Offhand some possibly easy-reach targets might be:

Docbook (anyone talked to Norm about this?);
OpenOffice XML (there's discussion about using RDFa and/or RDF/XML already);
- not sure what semantic material is commonly found in these, but I'd
be surprised if there wasn't some useful stuff

SOAPy Web Services stuff - choreography? policies? (SAWSDL being a precedent);
Grid stuff (various OASIS specs, things like WS-Resource Framework
should map fairly directly)

Think I'll blog, see what comes out of the woodwork...

Cheers,
Danny.
