Fiction Markup Language: Years ago I wrote about an idea called Fiction Markup Language. I said:

When is someone going to come up with Fiction Markup Language — an XML spec solely for annotating fiction?

Well, today I got an invite to a Google Group on this. Russell Warner is actually giving it a go, as detailed here. He seems to have a good start on it as well. There’s a snippet of markup in there which looks really promising.
