The best is to edit it just with a plain text editor, like vim or emacs
(or your favorite tool), so that you avoid the xml editor messing with
the rest of the file.  Of course, maybe there are good xml editors out
there that do not modify the part of the file you don't touch, but I
don't have any experience with any myself.

Sounds like a good place to edit; I'd just copy & paste eg. the SIN
description, and modify it for CSC etc.

The paragraph id's should be distinct in at least the file, and you
probably also want to test the hid/SC_HID_FUNC_* where it is used (as
the help identifier for the other functions), and if it works for your
new entries.

There might be other catches I don't see without actually trying that,
hopefully not ;-)  But if they are, please share them with the list.

Thanks for looking into this!

Kendy
