I don't see how this is particularly impractical.  Basically, using XML is
impractical on its own unless you either want to use an existing parser (not
critical since there are SGF parsers available) or want to make data available
in generally-understood format (personally, I don't see much advantage of XML
here, I can't think of a useful task that a general XML program can perform
with go game records.)  300 closing tags is just a side-effect of using XML.
