Agreed.  There's no reason we can't have a shorthand translation to
make this more readable.

 I like Spring's ability to add in new tags.  The tags can serve for
configuration of plugins (the plugins defining the tags),  or be
shortand.

And seriously, a simple Java-based graphical editor wouldn't hurt.
It's not fantastic, but Swing does the job.  Or a plugin for a popular
IDE.
