I don't think it's possible.

crm configure property dc-deadtime=10s

As the log suggested, the xml does not comform to pacemaker RelaxNG schema.
If you look /usr/share/pacemaker/pacemaker-1.0.rng, the rsc_defaults
requires element name "meta_attributes". So please change it to this:
 <rsc_defaults>
      <meta_attributes id="testid">
      <nvpair id="rsc-default-1" name="resource-stickiness" value="100"/>
      </meta_attributes>
  </rsc_defaults>

It does not seem correct. Please use crm configure command to configure the
cluster rather than xml until you you become very famillar with it.
crm configure colocation coloc-1 inf: clock eyes
Isn't it much simpler?

 Thanks
