Mike Lake (who is not on the Cave Digest list) has been working with Martin Laverty on CaveScript XML which is the generic name of a cave survey and map data format that could store all the information about a cave survey or an entire cave map. It is based on extensible markup language (XML). 

For more info check his website at:
http://www.speleonics.com.au/cavescript/ 
or http://www.speleonics.com.au and click the CaveScript
button.

There you will find example CaveScript files, utility programs and documentation including the Document Type Definitions (DTDs) that describe the language.
