I was thinking about a seperate git repo with the conf files in, plus a  
simple json API.
This could be parsed clientside and turned into a nice list.
Choose airframe -> choose autopilot -> choose imu or IR -> choose radio ->  
choose telemetry
That would get you 90% of the way, and could be done by simply adding  
annotations to the xml files.
