I think I belonged to that mailing list before my mission when I worked for Ancestry, but that was a while ago and I'd forgotten all about it. :) As for developing a new standard, I wonder what it would take to make it happen...

In fact, they're in the middle of discussing XML and RDF right now. It's a complicated issue, and the main problem seems to be a lack of leadership and/or resources. Specifications take leadership, technical knowledge, and resources. There doesn't appear to be anywhere to find all 3 elements in the same place or organization. It seems blatantly obvious there should be one, it just isn't happening.

I haven't seen the XML standards yet, but semantic web concepts look relevant. In fact, I just learned that RSS was originally based on RDF, which is an XML format tied heavily to the semantic web.
