One approach that looks interesting is the UDEF:

Which at least attempts to provide some equivalence between ns1:tomato

This is interesting. Isn't this what Oasis/UBL is trying to do also? UDEF, OAG, UBL, xCBL, etc.... that sounds like a lot of "universal" electronic business interchange formats. Which is fine with me, means that they'll need people to write translation code :-)
But this has to be seen as a problem. From reading their mailing lists I know that UBL is trying to work with OAG on document design. How would UDEF enter the picture??
