The purpose of XML for the .lpi is human readability (debugging,
searching, diffs), this includes automatic clean up. The used xml
reader/writer does not understand the full xml syntax.
Almost all xml files of the IDE are automatically cleaned up.
If you want to add information extend the projectopts.pas or add a new
xml file.

Yes. But I'm not a windows developer, so I will leave the solution to
other people.
