Surely we do need a standard schema, but oxomoa is IMHO not the right model to base on. If it were, it would have become a de facto standard already. Clearly it isn't good enough to become such a thing. I accepted a lot of criticism and added, changed and extended a lot. IMHO it has to be simple and scalable first of all. Scalable in this case would mean that an _average_ Joe can learn some parts of it and start mapping, then he can learn more (e.g. termini, large transfer stations), and proceed from simple to complicated.
