I'm not familiar with the Design Patterns movement, but my book Developing SGML DTDs: From Text to Model to Markup (Prentice-Hall PTR, ISBN 0-13-309881-8) has a whole chapter on markup design considerations. Most of the information applies directly to XML, although the book is obviously written to full SGML. It also presents an entire methodology for markup design, again based on full SGML but equally applicable to XML. In the course of demonstrating the methodology, it covers a lot of typical design decisions and their rationales.
