Re: [xml-dev] Lightweight, grassroots "observation" data format,with sup

["Simon St.Laurent" <simonstl@simonstl.com>]

I'm not sure there's much to be gained from standardizing sensor data 
formats as a whole.  Standardizing time, quantity, and unit pieces might 
be worthwhile, but I don't see a point in trying to create a generic 
"sensor data" format.

Thanks,
Simon
