Although QLGT (specifically, the GDAL libraries) understands a XML-format definition file to access remote WMS/TMS map servers, both have a different syntax.
So, you can't directly load the attached XML file in QLGT and expect it to work. You have to create a QLGT/GDAL on your own, which matches the syntax and key/tags the application expects. In fact, I seem to remember someone on the list created a script to convert the first into the second, although I can't remember if the script was ever released publicily. It isn't very difficult to take the bits from the WMS definition file you posted and create the XML file QLGT needs though. You can take any of the existing ones and available in QLGT webpage as an example.
