Right, the <schedule> and <contact details> in my example were simply meant to be placeholders for a natural language description of both of those things, not some formal specification that'd be machine readable. 

While being machine readable might be nice, I think the least effort for the most reward implementation is just a natural language message the capsule host can stick in their DNS and clients can fetch and display as is.
