If you are just making simple edits, like phone number, name, etc., then why not script it? Create a base XML file (or several if you have several classes of users.) Then using perl/sed/whatever replace things like __PHONENUMBER__ with the actual phone number. It's even easier with perl, the templates can be in the perl script and you can use variable substitution and even connect to a master database with the records, e.g. "make_polycom.pl 1234" could look up the info for 1234 and make the file, upload it to your FTP server, etc. This is on my wish list of things to do, but I can't see me needing more than like 20 phones, so "vi" and regex substitution works rather well.
