What if I would like to separate specific content into an external (outside Umbraco) XML-file but still be able to edit it using the Umbraco admin?

Is this a stupid idea? After all, I can create my own doctype and then create nodes using it and it would basically be the same thing as having an external XML-file? Are there any scenarios when this would be a good idea?

Now I have a real life case to use as an example. I have an XML-document on the server that looks something like this:
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Contacts>
  <Contact>
    <Company>Kärnhuset</Company>
    <Name>Thomas Kahn</Name>
    <Email>myemail@mycompany.com</Email>
    <Phone>08-12 34 56</Phone>
    <Date>2007-09-25 17:20:13</Date>
  </Contact>
</Contacts>


What if I skip the editing part and just want a page that displays all the contacts in the XML-document on a page which is accessible from Umbraco. Would this be possible?
