In re-stating the obvious...I am sure you have reviewed cXML standard format
(available at www.cxml.org )  If not you may want to start there.  Also
ebXML should address this matter.

   I have been looking for standards that are commonly
   accepted for various data. A very simple example: how
   should I define a phone number? how many digits? all in
   one field, or separate fields for country code, area
   code, local number? I am sure that standards exist. If
   not, how would the international operator handle phone
   calls from , say, Afghanistan to Romania? But where can
   I find such a convention? If someone has an answer,
   please tell us.
