Yes, although a conventional format might be chosen. What is worse with such a syntax is that you don't take profit of XML facilities and reinvent your own syntax.

Yes, although a conventional format might be ch= osen.

What is worse with such a syntax is that you don't take pr= ofit of XML facilities and reinvent your own syntax. Therefore
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 <colour r=3D"127" g=3D"255= " b=3D"127" />
is way better.
