Basics are:
Title (if 'formal')
Axis labelling (I'd accept something very simple to start with).
Then as you have, the pairs of values (X,Y).

Not sure if anything else is wanted?

I've done it before, just as an exercise.
Scaling might be an issue though.

Suggest:

<data>
<pt> <x>30</x>   <y>40</y> </pt>
</data>
though, just to keep it clean?
