I second that!

Beside that:
What advantage would an XML format bring and for whom ?
If it is only KDE who accesses these files, then who cares about the format ?
I would say, the most important thing is simplicity/speed.

Has somebody usecases for file access beside from KDE classes ?

P.S.:Also have a look at the elektra project:  http://elektra.sourceforge.net/

"The objective of the Elektra Project is to help create a pervasive, 
ubiquitous configuration system. "

       Some operating systems are called 'user friendly',
             Linux however is 'expert friendly'.
