I am not sure what the most popular XML vocabularies are
but I have done a lot of working with the controlled vocabularies
ISO 3166, ISO 4217, ISO 639-2, and FIPS 10-4. In a past life
I converted ISO 3166 into Zthes format (ANSI/NISO), and then created
transformations for rendering the Zthes into RDF. Anthony Coates from
Miley Watts was kind enough to provide a demonstration of how similar
transformations could change Zthes into a draft version of OASIS 
genericode.

Zthes XML doesn't specify a namespace but I intend to make modifications 
to support using GRDDL for tranformations.

I will be presenting a paper on 7/14/07 at the Cybernetics and 
Information Technologies, Systems and Applications: CITSA 2007 
Conference where I propose using Zthes and genericode for ISO standards. 
Also, I will describe using GRDDL to get these XML vocabularies into RDF.
