Yes, Dan Chudnov (they guy behind COinS) actually started a 
conversation about an identifier microformat on here several months ago:

November/002106.html
I agree, an identifier microformat could be used for ISBNs, ISSNs, 
DOIs, UPCs, etc. How about we start a page for this on the wiki? RFC 
4452 makes would mesh nicely with a decent identifier microformat.
Let's get this going.
