Note that CPE already defines a xml representation, however it is too 
complex for our purposes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cpe:platform-specification xmlns:cpe="http://cpe.mitre.org/language/2.0">
<cpe:platform id="123">
<cpe:title>Microsoft Windows XP with Adobe Reader</cpe:title>
<cpe:logical-test operator="AND" negate="FALSE">
<cpe:fact-ref name="cpe:/o:microsoft:windows-nt:xp" />
<cpe:fact-ref name="cpe:/a:adobe:reader" />
</cpe:logical-test>
</cpe:platform>
</cpe:platform-specification>

However it could be inspiration to use cpe:name tag instead of id to 
make it more clear.
