I think this could work very well.

My impression is that gmat is intending his simulator to interpolate based on a set of data points. (See his XML model example above.) This is certainly the easiest for people generating models.
We need to pick some units that all models will be in:
Water Flowrate -> lpm
Air Flowrate -> ??? CFM? metric convention? (Haven't googled this.)
Pressure drop -> mH2O
Thermal resistance -> C/W
Models would, in some cases, require conversion from a manufacturer's spec to these standard units.
(I've got a lot of issues to bring up, but little time for the next few days.)
