The idea of the --tabs-from-file option is to easily create configurations, e.g. to \
quickly set up a pool of PCs to establish ssh connections to. It is intended that the \
user manually edits this configuration file by text editor. The usage of XML would \
make this much more complicated for the user.

However, I also see that XML would make much more powerful things possible. May be, \
powerful XML-based configurations could be added by further options in addition to \
the simple text form.
