I can answer these bits, as the updated XML made for the last public release of M1 (0.78a10) is my doing.
The XML is a database, simply, of what is expected to be usable with the current core. You cannot add functionality to the core from the XML file.
The reason I continue to update the XML is to assist those who hold current MAME romsets to use M1. I do this by keeping the XML database current and accounting for such changes as rom names, set names, new parent or clones in the MAME releases. Also, new sets are added if they match the current functionality and built-in drivers that are in the last public release of M1.
Only R. Belmont can comment if the project will go further at his hands or not, but the source as been release for nearly a year now for others to add new game/driver functionality.
