So what will be the output without all the skinconf elements?

If the DTD will not change is because it does not validate for the 
elements say:

<feature name="search" value="true">
      <property name="foo">xml.apache.org</property>
      <property name="morefoo">Apache XML</property>
   </feature>

On a skin there is a expectation for 
feature[@name='search']/property/attribute::name

So it will not work and it will not display xml.apache.org

I can see the beneficts, but I am not sure.

Cheers,
Cheche
