Actually there is an XML schema called OSIS (http://www.bibletechnologies.net/) that is perfect for storing the Quran and all translations in. I checked it out a while back. It is originally intended for the Bible but the way it is designed it can be easily used for the Quran too. I talked to the OSIS people and they supported the idea of using OSIS to store Quran'ic data. They are also planning to build a plugin for OpenOffice in order to edit OSIS documents out-of-the-box.

For your information,
