This format makes it hard to be checked with an external
parser being able to validate an xml file with a DTD. At
minimum, it should be name="option" along with their
int="3" and string="an option" and color="255,255,0". The
type indicator may be passed along for convenience to your
reader function to know as to which attribute to look for.
