For manual editing, yes, but I guess the idea is that the UI should be the
primary editor. It should be pretty easy to make it escape data correctly.

I haven't thought about the format at all, but one drawback I can see with
this is that the format becomes pretty unnatural if <option> has further
children, such as the <possible_values> proposed by Glenn. It would turn
into something like:

 <option ...>
  localevents.xml
  <possible_values>
   ...
  </possible_values>
 </option>

which is probably legal, but looks weird.

Then again, I'm not crazy about the underscores, so we should probably bash
the format spec around until everybody's happy :-)
