To quote Wikipedia.org[1]: "The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a W3C-recommended general-purpose markup language for *creating special-purpose markup languages*." (Emphasis added by me.) There are occasions where creating a completely new markup language with XML does make sense. However, this particular enhancement does not need it. IMHO a text based file has a big advantage in this proposed application over fileformats which use XML: Any administrator can read it with his editor of choice, right from the console.
