The xml looks like a nice, readable and compact representation to me.  
A couple of questions:


1) In the example CPIA XML, the snippet below can't be right  
(eventsForNamedLookup  contains a UUID that's generated by the  
repository):

         <MenuItem
           id="NewNoteItem"
           eventsForNamedLookup="[<ref: 22d76320-0921-11da- 
ab3d-00054e47c157>]"

2) How are block classes looked up? e.g. if you need to refer to a  
block class outside of your parcel, what's the syntax?
