ACK. But I would also be fine w/ EMDL notation
http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/emdl/index.htm

OTOH, I could also live with an simple XML schema - quite any scripting
language can easily cope w/ it (okay, didn't try in shellscript yet),
allows all sorts of transfomations (xslt, etc). YAML also seems fine.

The major point for me would be having simple editable and parsable
text files, maybe even w/ some kind of include / referencing mechanism
(even though, we could use cpp for that).

Anyways, an GUI-based implementation could be a nice usecase for my
tiny widget toolkit I'm currently hacking up
