XML should ideally be human-*readable* but it's up to the document type
designers of each application to make it so. Don't blame XML for their
failings.

uca.xml looks pretty self-explanatory to me:

<actions>
  <action>
    <icon>utilities-terminal</icon>
    <patterns>*</patterns>
    <name>Open Terminal Here</name>
    <command>exo-open --working-directory %f --launch
TerminalEmulator</command>
    <description>Example for a custom action</description>
     <startup-notify/>
    <directories/>
  </action>
</actions>

(omitting the extra language definitions).
