I disagree - it's XML, and XML doesn't exist for human consumption.  Once you go down that road, you start to cripple the format more and more and pretty soon it's hardly usable or at the very least, overly complex to parse.

If you're using the GPD, then you shouldn't need to hand-edit the XML anyway.  If you aren't using the GPD, then you won't have GPD data to worry about in the first place.  And personally I don't find it at all confusing to mix that information as illustrated above - using Facelets you do that all the time, sometimes with as many as 10 or more namespaces.  It's as readable as XML gets (which is not very, unless you're accustomed to it).
