Note that plists can also be stored in a binary format; would you
want to support that also? If so, how about Parse::ApplePlist?
I don't know anything about the binary format.... but its existence
does argue against the XML prefix for sure.
On a Mac, you can use "plutil -convert xml1 -o out.xml in.xml" and
"plutil -convert binary1 -o out.xml in.xml" to switch back and
forth. You can also use the -lint option to validate your data files.
I *think* the binary format was introduced in 10.4, but maybe it was
10.3.
