Hm. That alone won't help either. And the order of RGB, Name and Spot 
shouldn't matter, as it doesn't in the other xml files. But there is one 
more tag called Register, it's missing here, what is it good for?

When I leave out the whitespaces after < and before />, Scribus won't 
complain anymore, but it imports only one single color without any 
description.
