XML scientific data formats

Hello everyone,

Strictly speaking, not a VisAD question, but nevertheless...

I'm about to start some work on an XML Adapter and have considered two
formats:

Caltech's XSIL: Extensible Scientific Interchange Language

http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/SDA/xsil/

or 

NASA's eXtensible Data Format (XDF)

http://xml.gsfc.nasa.gov/XDF/XDF_home.html

Has anyone out there done something with either format?

Has anyone some experience with either XSIL or XDF, even if not in a
VisAD context?

Any feedbacks and/or views are appreciated.

Cheers,

Ugo
