I'd definitely prefer the version below, for exactly this reason. Bear in mind
that the XML file format is something that is to last, and that needs to be
open for future extensions. Even if formatting isn't a topic now, it might
become in two or three years. Changing a GUI is easy, but having to switch to a
new incompatible XML schema then will produce much more pain.
