I 2nd the vote against.  Can't stand xml config files. One vendor I work
with, Wombat Financial, gives you the option to use .cf or .xml, but
this adds it's own level of unnecessary complexity...

KIS...please.

I vote against this.  I LIKE easily understood text files, since I
configure Hobbit with a text editor.  If there were to be an
configuration GUI some day that took over all Hobbit configuration
tasks, then I would cease to care how the files are stored.

Hey Henrik,

I know this would be a rather significant change but have you considered
switching hobbit to use xml based config files?  I'm actually working on
an external module that will use an xml config file and thinking about
the schema, etc it occurred to me that hobbit would lend itself nicely
to xml configs.

Just curious...
