I prefer the CSS syntax. However, if you want to use XML, I think the
FOSI language is a decent starting point. E.g., 

  <e-i-c gi="h1">                      <!-- element in context is h1 -->
    <charlist inherit="1">             <!-- inheritance should be used -->
      <font size="14pt" weight="bold"> <!-- set some font properties -->
    </charlist>
  </e-i-c>
