I didn't know that the OAA was already using this. As far as I'm
concerned, I think that it's of the utmost importance that we don't
just invent something just for the sake of it but rather reuse as much
as possible. It is very, very deceptively easy to add an element to an
XML vocabulary and think that the corresponding feature has been added
— that is almost never the case as one needs to define a lot more.
That was the motivation behind my initial suggestion to reuse Atom,
but since there's something that already used by the OAA then it is
definitely worth looking at.
