[XML4Lib] XML for language instructional materials?

[Karen Harker]

Well, there's the Learning Objects Metadata ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_object_metadata ) (LOM).  This was created by IEEE and has been integrated into learning management systems (LMS).

XML4LIB,

Has anyone out there marked up language instruction materials with  
XML? Have any advice for a schema (DTD, whatever) that works well?

The project in question will be encoding a set of language lessons for  
Mayan languages, and will deal with the usual sorts of language  
instructions things (individual lessons, examples sentences and  
conversations) plus links off to a language dictionary and sound  
samples, and switch between orthographies (standard and learner). One  
idea that has been floated is to do a TEI or TEI-Lite extension.

If this resembles a project you are familiar with, I'd love to hear  
what was used for the text encoding, how well it worked, caveats, etc.
