Maybe because an XML file can be used with any other language ? Having 
data in PHP files restrict its access to PHP. For example, you might 
want to write an XSL file to automaticly generate a website presenting 
the extensions. In my opinion, it is ten time easier to maintain and 
enhance than a PHP script.
