Would it make sense to mimic attributes present in LinkedIn's JSON structure? Most people already have a LinkedIn profile, and it would be easy to make a tool that exports LinkedIn profiles into you new open standard.

You are correct, LinkedIn uses a Microformat called hResume, in our templates, we will export to HTML with built in support for the Microformat.

We also want to build a feature into the command line tool that lets users sync their resume.json to LinkedIn.
