It's a good idea.  I suggest you read the slides
of my presentation at XTech '99, "Vocabularies: Opportunities
for Efficiency and Reliability" at
http://www.hytime.org/papers/srnXTech99/

(The text version of the slides, under the "A" button, is perfectly
adequate and much less bandwidth-intensive.)
