Reminder: please don't bike-shed about the file format. Everybody has his 
favorite markup language, I prefer MAML (Martin's Awesome Markup Language).

A standard which is used, is better than a not-used proprietary format. No 
matter what language it is. In the end it's about being machine readable and 
any machine readable language can be converted into another. Don't like XML? 
Write it in MAML and use a generator to convert to XML.

Cheers
Martin
