Yes, of course.

Yes, sounds like a way to go in the future.  And the master file should
add timestamp attribute ("changed") and perhaps an id to every single
hint:

<GnomeHints>

  <Hint id="panel1" changed="2000-05-22">
    To end your GNOME session, click on the foot
icon to open the Main Menu and select 'Log 
out' from the 'Desktop' submenu.</Hint>

</GnomeHints>

And I'd like to see the ASCII markup replaced with XML markup:

<GnomeHints>

  <Hint id="panel1" changed="2000-05-22">
    To end your GNOME session, click on the foot
icon to open the Main Menu and select <GUIItem>Log 
out</GUIItem> from the </GUIItem>Desktop</GUIItem> submenu.</Hint>

</GnomeHints>
