I've found if you try to shortcut a solution you end up doing a ton more
work that doing it the "best-est" way.
I think your two options are teaching the client how to update the SSI file
with notepad and FTPing it up to the server. Many clients can be trained to
do these simple tasks, especially if they have a template or how to
document to work from.
The other option is to code an admin interface to the file using a DB or
XML to store the data in. They could add/edit/remove entries and then
"publish" them to the SSI file.
