I know I'm not in the targeted audience if it meantions Apple, Mac or iTunes, I don't know I'm not if it says just Plist and is in a namespace that's inhabited mostly by all kinds of XML parsers, general and specific alike. Which in itself is a problem. I think the specific parsers should actually never been included in that namespace. I think the XML:: namespace should be inhabited by general XML processing modules and by formats and technologies that are more or less part of the XML suite of standards. DTD, Schema, XSLT, XPath, RSS?, ... Imagine you are a newbie and come to search.cpan.org in search of some XML parser. And you end up burried under all those modules you are not part of the target audience for.
