Edit the xaml file instead of reading is possible…
But it is not advised directly to edit the xaml in notepad…but if you ask if it is feasible it is…because for cases where we see some exceptions in office 365 or exceptions in import failure we do try to edit the xaml to resolve the issues…
But be sure if atleast one scope value or anything is wrong or even with a slightly different name then the xaml wont be usable …so try to create a backup and then try to do such modifications
Cheers
