I'm pretty rusty, but I've got my reference books.  Do you have a list of 
nouns or something that you'd be wanting to use?

Several folks have mentioned different kinds of contact information, i.e.
home, work, day, night, emergency...  This could be an attribute within
the contact tag:

	<contact priority=home>

Although 'priority' probably isn't the best word.

Woops, how'd learning style get into contact info?

I believe, by the way, that DTD's need to define a "root level" element per
dtd (for example "<school>..</school>" or <library_catalog>
...</library_catalog>
but that two or more couldn't be included in the same file.  I might be 
misunderstanding this, however?
