I have sort of half-thought about it. Of course, one way you can get
this right now is by using m4:

    define(`movie_lang', `g0')dnl
    define(`subs_flag', `g1')dnl
    define(`next_button', `g3')dnl

etc. m4 is also a handy way of expressing repetitive constructs that
you commonly encounter in these XML files.
