I haven't got round to making an official page on the wiki yet, but I wanted to let people know that I'm working on finding the best way to markup and present scientific articles in XHTML. The markup takes clues from DocBook and LaTeX, as well as the publishers' markup currently in use as shown in a survey I carried out a couple of weeks ago <http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001309.html>. I imagine this will share some elements with a book microformat, plus it uses a citation microformat and some parts of hCard (for representing authors and addresses).

There's a demonstration page here: <http://alf.hubmed.org/ojs/ index.php/jis/article/view/1/1> - view source and look at everything inside <div="article">. I'd appreciate any 'do this' or 'don't do that' comments (and will say upfront that I misused a few existing elements for the sake of readability, eg 'name' instead of 'fn'). I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone who deals with scientific articles outside the biomedical field and knows of any elements specific to their papers.
