+1. I love every file i can simply look into and do not have to use special 
tool to look at it. Also for bugreporters this matters: you can easily drop 
the content of a textfile and actually are sure that no passwords are 
transmited. Using a db you have to access the database, create a dbdump to 
have a readable thing.
But configuration should not be that heavy that any binary thing is needed to 
be fast. And the configuration is read at one time maybe triggered, when it 
was changed. So there is neither a timing issue nor a big chunck of data...

Regads,

sandro
