That is seriously broken and user-unfriendly XML :(. Has it been written
by gconf developers? Is it not possible to do something more intuitive
like

<merge sys="input.xkb"/>
   <layout value="gb"/>
   <layout value="ru">
      <variant value="winkeys"/>
   </layout>
</merge>

ie something that actually uses XML hierachical nature to describe
hierarchies? I mean what's the point of inflicting tags on users if
they're not even used to tokenise properties properly.
