OK, the 32 character limitation might be something that we should
consider. I am not sure so if it is easy to change in the ui files because
of the / character but you might give it a try. It is definitly cleaner
but I fear that there was some reason I didn't do it in the first place
but I don't remeber.

OK, yes, it might make sense to add additional metadata to the schema file
and still try to generate as much as possible. For example, we could stop
generated the schema files automatically but keep the script and you run
it manually when you change an ui file. The script should be updated to
keep descriptions from an existing schema file.
