Will do, though probably using "crid-series" and "crid-program" since we don't need "id" twice

I'm not sure I understand what you want written up and where.
AU Freeview (i.e. my grabber) specifically? or CRID based in general? Schema as in XMLTV schema? MythDB schema?
XMLTV wiki as in http://wiki.xmltv.org ?
