Currently, the gnome i18n workflow can easily use .xml and .po files. For other file formats there will be need for quite some extra work. Thus, if you would like to use your proposed file format, you would need to update http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/intltool/ Of course, contact the maintainer of intltool first. AFAIK, if intltool can parse your files, they will fit with the workflow of GNOME.
