not specifically. Care to make an argument that we should?

(1) 
http://www.unl.ias.unu.edu/publications/gm/breaking/bre/brk-02.htm
states that:

 `UNL represents sentences in the form of 
logical expressions, without ambiguity.
These expressions are not for humans to 
read, but for computers.'

http://www.unl.ias.unu.edu/publications/gm/unlsys/sys-03.htm
states that:
`it is proposed that the description format for 
UNL expression is considered as an extension of HTML convention.'

Hope this helps,
