Also, what is the policy of GnuCash towards manipulating the XML. Because I
remember that for the database, I once read something like "We do not support
modifications to the database from outside the GnuCash

Is modifying the XML also actively discouraged?
Yes. All data 'writes' should only happen through the GnuCash API.
Which means there are currently 3 supported ways to modify the data:
- using the GnuCash application's gui
- you can write a guile/scheme script that uses the GnuCash API
- if python bindings are enabled on your platform you can also write a
python script that uses the GnuCash API.
