Al,
The nearest things to universals I know of in the sciences are PSI
units of measurement (I think I've said this before here). I'm not
aware of a standard markup for them :(
See David Megginson's post for what might actually be useful to the
aircraft industry - I observe it's closer to units of measurement
than mathematatical/set theoretic notions of types us computer folk
seem to be fond of.
