ObsKML is what I developed and used as an xml staging format for my own work and support as a possible simple metadata schema for community adoption. KML's earlier version Metadata tag was more oriented towards simple attribute style (no hierarchical nesting of elements) and while that might be sufficient for some applications, the basics which I needed to support my work was the ability to associate a list/collection of observations with an associated KML Placemark/TimeStamp. I'm not a member or participant in OGC specifications processes, but do hope that OGC is able to incorporate simpler document-centric approaches and recommendations for popular data/metadata formats in addition to the earlier/ongoing service-centric, query based approaches.
