Bad idea for a document, LyX is used to create structured document, not
database, we are not going to create a new directory for each new inset...
But I agree that XML is really not good for humans, we should switch to Json,
not XML.
See related:
"JSON vs XML: How JSON Is Superior To XML"
https://www.udemy.com/blog/json-vs-xml/
For those dreaming of XML, the advantage of JSON would be that there
are readily available routes of conversion to and from XML (using
Python):

https://github.com/quandyfactory/dicttoxml
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/191536/converting-xml-to-json-using-python
https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict
Of course, that also means there are readily available routes of
conversion to and from JSON, if we were using XML.
For what it's worth, I find JSON completely unreadable.
