You're so close...

You need to assign each field separately; you can't use the string 
syntax (although, that might not be a bad addition...)

	<edit name="width"><double>8.7</double></edit>

might be what you want.  I don't know what the 'width' value of the font 
you want to use is though; 87 is certainly wrong -- XLFD names use widths 
in decipixels for some weird reason.
