I could use it, but I would have to write a conversion script from your
XML format to the format we decide to use. I rather modify my existing
python script instead and make direct conversion from the last GPRS EC
database.

with properties you mean attributes? If so then w3school says[1]:
"There are no rules about when to use attributes and when to use
elements. Attributes are handy in HTML. In XML my advice is to avoid
them. Use elements instead."
And I prefer elements :)
If a service provider offers different types of subscriptions then there
would be provider element for every different type and the name element
would distinguish the types from each other.
<provider>
<name>Service Provider - CDMA</name>
<cdma />
</provider>
<provider>
<name>Service Provider - GSM</name>
<gsm>
<apn>internet</apn>
</gsm>
</provider>
<provider>
<name>Service Provider - GSM prepaid</name>
<gsm>
<apn>prepaid.provider</apn>
</gsm>
</provider>
The user would see a drop-down menu with items:
Service Provider - CDMA
Service Provider - GSM
Service Provider - GSM prepaid
