Yeah, it sounds a lot like XML.  FWIW, XML isn't really that hard 
to edit in vim, especially if you use folding and tab completion.

If you want something less verbose than XML, you might find lisp 
and s-expressions useful.  Or, if you don't like all the 
parenthesis, python can be somewhat coerced into acting like a 
declarative language.

I'd guess that XML is probably simpler, though.  :)
