I thought "lvml" sounded like a markup language, but it turns out that emotionml already exists and should fit our needs. http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/emotion/XGR-emotionml-20081...

Therefore, to fight back against the vagueness and possible misinterpretation of Internet slang, I propose that in the future "lol" be replaced by something like the following:

  <emotionml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2008/11/emotionml">
    <emotion>
      <modality mode="face"/>
      <category set="everydayEmotions" name="amusement" confidence="0.8"/>
      <link role="experiencedBy" uri="file:john.vcard"/>
      <link role="expressedBy" uri="file:johnsParty.avi" start="10s" end="15s"/>
      <link role="triggeredBy" uri="file:guestList.xml#numberOfGuests"/>
    </emotion>
  </emotionml>
