I'd lean toward CALS.  It's the one supported in DITA, which 
is the most buzzword-compliant XML format out there at present.  ;-)

CALS is also the preferred choice in DocBook, the most mature 
of the common XML formats, although DocBook has added support 
for the HTML table model too.  In Mif2Go's DocBook output from
Frame, you can select either one; we have customers using both.

HTH!
