I wonder if someone in here finds this interesting... I do. There are a bunch of markup languages out there that try to codify useful things (like this one!) but the fact that the work is buried in XML distracts from the value of the proposal, I think.
Many markup languages are the work of a bunch of people, sometimes over a couple of years, coming up with a good data structure for an specific domain. I find this work valuable.

I think this particular language could be interesting to distill ideas on how to track mood over time, perhaps as part of a personal info manager or therapeutic app.

Interesting that it hit W3C recommendation in 2014. I wonder if there are any implementations.

indeed. I would find this easier to read if it was expressed as sum types. I don’t know if that’s just me

My initial reaction was "this is wack". Then I felt sheepish about being so negative, so I read a bit further. Once I got to the first two use cases, I rescinded my sheepishness. It's wack! (This appraisal is admittedly a personal thing, and I probably should have phrased it that way. But it triggers my "computers representing (and thus surveilling) users rather than acting as passive tools" distaste really pointedly.)

yeah "fear" and "surveillance" on the same sentence is not that great of an idea
I think more in line with "personal diary", were some sort of classification of emotional state seems useful (quantified self, etc.)
