Whether XML or JSON, it'll be ridiculously easy to break the data file
completely with something as simple as an apostrophe or ampersand in a
placename (see every alternate post in this forum with titles like "my
map just stopped working").

I'd strongly recommend some kind of user-interface that can take care
of encodings etc. for them, even if the project doesn't warrant a
database system.
