Answer 1

It can be. In theory the validation that does on when it's updated should catch all bad errors. In general I approach this as follows..
Get the document out use FTP. Make a backup copy :). Edit using you favorite XML editor. Put back in using FTP. More often than not if it's something I expect to do many times I will create a SQL statement to do the changes and use dbms_xdb.cfgget and cfgupd to do the changes. I also have an xdb_configuration package that get methods for the really common ones. Latest version of the code is shown below...
alter session set current_schema = XDBPM
create or replace view DATABASE_SUMMARY_10200
as
select d.NAME, p.VALUE "SERVICE_NAME", i.HOST_NAME, n.VALUE "DB_CHARACTERSET"
  from v$system_parameter p, v$database d, v$instance i, nls_database_parameters n
where p.name = 'service_names'
   and n.parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
