How to represent in XML the procedure for obtaining the navaid records for an airport?
DocBook has <procedure> containing <step>s. If you add sufficient content or attributes to enable the expression of the problem in a target language, almost any reocurring element inside a container will do the job.

That's the holy grail of computer science - ever since COBOL, people
have been trying to find a language that was simple enough for
managers to understand but precise enough to express all the detail.
My favourite was The Last One, distributed as a DOS executable on a 5¼″ floppy with something like PC World, that you could give to your manglement to let them program stuff themselves (and fire all the IT staff). There were programs touted that were "so simple even your manager can use it".
