There is nothing built into Biopython's SeqIO yet beyond
the UniProt XML parser, which you are familiar with - right? ;).
I suspect that either that or the INSDC XML format (INSDSeq,
an XML version of GenBank/EMBL text files) might be good
choices - although they too may have field limitations.

I certainly wouldn't encourage you to invent yet another file format.
