You are still being too literal. The "1-3 lines of code" guideline is a guideline, not a rule. It means 1 small edit is best, 2 edits are mostly harmless, 3 is okay, 4 is acceptable, and so on. It's the peak of the Zipf's Law curve: http://www.rimmkaufman.com/content/mobydick.png You "mocked the wire" with that hardcoded XML so that your subsequent edits can be very short and reliable.
