Mmm... defaulting to "unknown" for numeric value will cause some minor headaches for some implementations that would store the parsed value as a numeric. I guess they can convert to -1.

Another note for score and severity: why do we have one between 0 and 100 and the other between 0.00 and 1.00. It's exactly the same thing just using a different notation. Couldn't we go for 0-100 for both: that way implementation could use shorts to store the values, rather than the more clumsy floats?
