Sounds good to me, I hadn't thought about that.  Add some standard way 
of passing parameters to a custom component, and I think you'll be set 
to do just about anything :)  Perhaps the XML that is of another 
namespace will be passed to a parse function of an interface you are 
required to implement.  That would allow the most flexibility, but it 
would require those writting the GUI elements to do some work, and may 
hurt performance a bit to have several XML parsers running.  Maybe the 
DOM object could be passed instead.

Just some more to think about.
