I don't see how this actually matters. None of the other SAPIs are configured with a php.ini syntax.
None of the other SAPIs are configured, period; The little configuration they do have is done using php.ini. This SAPI requires much more configuration - and I agree it's equivalent to web server configuration - but given that it's going to be bundled in PHP, it should use the same syntax.
That includes IIS, Apache, Lighttpd and others. This is more of a webserver thing than a "PHP thing" so I don't see how it is relevant to require php.ini syntax if this XML configure file works just fine already. I mean, it'd be *nice* to have a non-XML syntax, but for me this is definitely not a requirement for FPM to be added to trunk. If you (or somebody else) wants a php.ini syntax for it, a patch can be written. It's Open Source after all.
For me it is a requirement before the code makes it into a released version of PHP, and I think many others think that way if past discussions are any indication. That's what RFCs are for - if people can just go ahead and implement their original thoughts without paying attention to feedback, why bother? Personally I think that the person pushing the code should be responsible for implementing the feedback to the RFC (or getting others to do it).
