Relates to: #31703

%%%When using xml2rna from the rna_xml module, the import is aborted when a bpy_prop_collection in the xml has a different length than in the current file.
For example, as in the attached file, xml2rna into a fresh new .blend doesn't work.

The workaround proposed in #31703 ( http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498&aid=31703&group_id=9 ) doesn't work because prop collections do not have an .add() method.

Reproducing: Open the attached .blend and run the script (xml2rna.py), even though the XML refers to data on my computer, the Size mismatch! message will display before.%%%

%%%Hi Simon, The XML presets were intended as a way to store settings without having to execute code - supporting vector collections is useful too but not really a bug.

As in - adding support for this is fine but at some point you hit a limitation with xml2rna.py not being able to restore entire datablocks / blendfiles.
Having xml2rna.py as an alternative to the blend file format is outside the scope of this py module.

Closing this bug but adding it to the python TODO wiki.
