Thanks for the input. i was being lazy - this is the format that the existing Quartz code uses and it parses that string for you. However, I agree - from an ease of use aspect, that isn't helping.
"That string", I believe, is based on standard unix crontab format, which makes it very easy for people used to that format to cut+paste, or to simply type. The "*" character in crontab format means "all" or, in other words, the same thing as omitting an attribute in Roland's suggested format.
So I will use your idea. Now I think about it, I might also change the count="-1" to be a forever="true" | count="1 or more".
Maybe support both? So expression="crontab-expr" works, as does hour="4"/minute="20"....
