Custom strings: is it safe/sane to do it this way?

I just started to construct string overrides for the EAxian careers like so:
1. in the tuning XML, the entries go
<Political>
<Title>pboxSTC_Secretary</Title>
<stuff></stuff>
</Political>
2. then I wrote an .xml that goes
<KEY>Gameplay/Excel/Careers/Political:pboxSTC_Secretary</KEY>
<STR>Secretary</STR>
converted it with stblc (thanks for that!) and imported the resulting stbl into my package. The instance for the stbl
is pulled out of thin air
I actually even forgot that, it has an instance of 0.
This works for me (phew!) - I'm just not sure if it's recommended to do this kind of thing, since I see that everybody else seems to override the EAxian values (where I'm making my own keys instead). I have AM installed and my package overrides AM; haven't tested without AM yet.
Opinions?
(If it does turn out to be a viable way of doing it, I'll convert this into a more info-like post.)

The correct way to generate a STBL instance is basically asspull, although the first byte is used for region encoding and does not form part of the instance. The lowest-instanced STBL takes precedence.
