This is tangential, but for the record there are some existing HR-XML
standards around staffing, labor and invoicing. This is really the KArm
realm, so as I said its tangential to project mgmt.
I guess the idea is that these standards can form the foundation for web
services for temp agencies and the firms they service.

SIDES is a "comprehensive suite of data exchange standards designed to
offer new efficiencies and cost savings for staffing customers, staffing
suppliers, and other stakeholders in the staffing supply chain. Major
modules include: StaffingOrder; HumanResource; Assignment;
StaffingSupplier; StaffingCustomer; StaffingAction; Extended TimeCard; and
Invoice (an extended version of OAGIS 8.0 Invoice). This suite of open
standards is designed to increase the efficiency of staffing processes and
to reduce integration costs usually incurred by the need to implement
custom interfaces to link to trading partner systems."

FWIW, KArm 3.4 will be able to import planner tasks into it's task list. I
plan to do TaskJuggler and would do kPlato to, if the storage format is
stable. If it's not stable, does it have versioning (or some kind of
magic id)?
