Thinking another way around, why not use some generic syntax like <config>setting_1[,setting_2[,...setting_n]]</config> instead of creating new markups every time we have a new request, while keep the markup consistent.
So the "clear" signal (and the alike in the future) can be marked up as: <config>clear</config>. A little lengthy though but I'm not an expert of naming :).

This is the exact reason using an entirely different syntax is on the table, so that people are not tempted to do invalid things like that.
