Interesting.
One problem is that XFDX isn't a standard yet. It's still in draft form. How can we adhere to something that will change in the near future? Also, I don't like that an article is identified by <ar> tag, and a keyword is identified by <k> tag. I'd prefer to spell out the whole word so it can be read easier.
Here is a pretty good source of information on XML.
