Yes, the extracted XML is a bit annoyingly not quite valid XML, with some 
extraneous character between the XML elements, that seems to be different for 
everybody by the time it gets downloaded, presumably due to codepage 
differences. 

But in principle, it seems that one could change the XML (presumably being 
careful with those extraneous characters) and then simply re-import the XML 
from the panels. Not fully ideal, but better than nothing. 

However, I don't know that the XML file is meant to be a programming interface, 
so... I'm not sure whether I'd actually trust that. Seems like it should be a 
fine enough idea. But I'd check things closely the first few times at least. 
And I'd trust it more if it seemed to be valid XML. But at least from what I've 
seen by the time it gets downloaded, it's not quite so.
