If it is not interpreted as text field, we should also make it length/width/height.

<aspeed measurement="USmph">2,360</aspeed>

How about:
<speed medium="air" value="2360" units="miles/hour"/>
<acceleration medium="air" direction="forward" value="2" units="g"/>
<acceleration medium="air" direction="backward" value="6" units="g"/>

It's a kind of toss-up between putting the value as an element attribute or as a text node of its own. Opinions differ.

It could be like this instead:
<medium type="air">
  <speed .../>
  <accel .../>
</medium>

Or:
<medium>
  <air>
    <speed .../>
    <accel .../>
  </air>
  <space>
    ...
  </space>
</medium>

Or:
<motion>
  <forward>
    <speed />
    <accel />
  </forward>
  <backward>
    <speed />
    <accel />
  </backward>
  <pitch>
    <speed />
    <accel />
  </pitch>
  <roll>
    <speed />
    <accel />
  </roll>
  <yaw>
    <speed />
    <accel />
  </yaw>
</motion>

Or replace forward,backward,pitch,roll with x,y,z ax,ay,az.
Or even replace speed and accel with Δx,Δy,Δz, ΔΔx,ΔΔy,ΔΔz.

Yes, XML lets you use Unicode characters anywhere that you like. :-)
