The syntax is actually:

That is not correct, because there is no explicit ordering of property node
children.
You need different functions, or some helper argument, for every property type
that
is vector-like -- colors, positions, normals, rotations, etc.
But in any case, I'm not worried so much about concise syntax in C++; I'm
talking
about the syntax of the XML files that will use the new properties.
