XML advantages:

- you can validate it
- you can process it
- it's easyer to read comparing PHP includes
- good combination with xhtml and other xml
- it seems to be an establishe standard

XML disadvantages:

- still limited support by editors
- often more code to insert comparing other configuration languages
- not the easiest to learn

Summing it up. It sounds like a usefull proposal to me. But again. 
Simply let the user use use the template system of his choice.

> For the access question:

If you upload from an editor it is usually not handeld by the typo3 
access control system at all.
