I don't think you'll have any issues using the older format. All the examples I've found use the old NeXT notation. Although I can't explain why the XML format didn't work, there is a workaround for this particular keyboard shortcut which would mean you can leave your existing DefaultKeyBinding.dict untouched.
There is an application called KeyRemap4MacBook which is free to download and you can see from the screenshot below, you could remap the ⌘+⌫ keyboard shortcut without converting the rest of your DefaultKeyBinding.dict file and this method is not limited to Cocoa applications.
The button in the top right of each window is not for minimizing and maximizing the window, but for putting it in and out of fullscreen mode (which is why it covers the menu bar, as you said).
The keyboard shortcut to toggle fullscreen depends on the application.
Most applications that I use on a daily basis (such as Google Chrome, Terminal, Mail, and Safari) use ^+⌘+F (Control+Cmd+F) to toggle fullscreen mode.
Unfortunately, not all developers use this shortcut in their applications. iTerm, for example, uses ⌘+Enter to toggle fullscreen mode. If the application you refer to does not use either of these shortcuts, you should look for the fullscreen option in the View menu or by searching for "fullscreen" in the Help menu.

DefaultKeyBinding.dict wouldn't work in a lot of applications, and
"<" = (insertText:, ";");wouldn't change ⌘< to ⌘;.You could try using KeyRemap4MacBook and saving this as private.xml:
KeyCode::BACKQUOTE is the same key code as
<on ISO keyboards.The test folder has an XML file with all the predefined remappings.
Another option would be to create a keylayout file with Ukelele.
