In Wix 3.0 we have both the XmlConfig and XmlFile elements. 

I'm not totally clear about what is the difference between XmlConfig
and XmlFile. Can somebody explain? Why do we have two different elements
that seemingly can do the same (or can they)?

Accordingly to Bob Arnson [see 
http://n2.nabble.com/Wix---Prevent-XMLFile-updates-on-Repair-option-td702171.html#a702174]
the XmlConfig element is a superset of the XmlFile element. 

So if this is right I/we should favor using XmlConfig over XmlFile,
right?

One may ask how XmlConfig can be used to change an existing attribute
value in an xml element. XmlConfig does not seem to allow
Action="change" Action="setValue" similar to what
XmlFile offers.
