With a flat list like that you could just as well use a simple tab- delimited format. It would be much simpler to parse, and you could even dump the contents into a field for a list view without modification.

I agree so much.
Why making complicated what it can be simple...
In such a case (an agenda if I understood well) does not need more than a tab/tab/return file.
Easier and quicker to set up.
And in addition, you can add 'columns' you need as IDs, open it in Excel, etc. The point, when you think as a professional is always: what's the more reliable for my client and the easier for me :-) I have used XML many times for building prefs files for instance: as for the Rev Search Engine where it was preferable because many items were lists.
But the simpler (if applicable), the better ;-)
My two cents.
