Nice work, Joakim. My comments are inline.

Where do we get the id from? Is it the domain name? What about systems hosted 
in a directory off a domain, or multiple systems on the same domain? Maybe the 
id should be the baseuri, in which case it might be redundant?

>     <name>Kuro5hin</name>

Can people choose anything, or does this need to be registered somehow?

>     <languages>
>     EN_us
>     </languages>

Is this comma separated? Why not a list of languages:
<languages>
  <language>EN_us</language>
  <language>Klingon</language>
</languages>

>     <licensetypes>pp-exclusive, fee-based</licensetypes>
> 

Again, why not a list? It makes it easier to parse and use XPath filters on.

How about:
<contacts>
  <contact type="tech">tech at kuro5hin.org</contact>
  <contact type="editorial">rusty at kuro5hin.org</contact>
  <contact type="licencing">licensing at kuro5hin.org</contact>
</contacts>

Isn't that potentially less trouble to extend? Also, does this contact have to 
be an email address?

Mostly my comments on this are the same
