Yeah, I think this is a nicer looking and easier-to-parse format as
well.  The attributes are optional, so there's no need to fill them in
if they aren't there.  The only benefit to the <version> tag is if you
have something which provides multiple versions of a certain token, but
that seems better off being a separate "dep entry" data structure
anyway.
