Minor point: I think just "entry", not "listentry", would be fine.

Can all the same things be represented in attributes that can be
represented in CDATA inside an element? I keep learning the answer to

attribute for (at least) filename was a mistake in .svn/entries, and
first-class elements would probably be better.
