Why use something as complex as xml?  You need to import a
parser at the very least into the deamon.  If you must 
have opening and closing tags, how about sexpers?

((english ((risk high) (vuln-id 1234)
(descr "this attack install windows, ugh")))
(german (...)))

and I belive that it would be better to keep 
things together by language, you do not want
to check 4+ places to se you translated everything.
