I started working on something similar late last year:

http://www.saint-andre.com/jabber/jeps/profile.html

Another approach would be to RDF, which Dominik Tomaszuk has been 
working on (he can provide a link).

A third approach would be to pursue standardization of a next-generation 
format for personal profile data within the IETF (most likely as XML but 
perhaps as RDF) -- I know some IETF folks who are interested in doing 
just that, but such an effort might take longer.
