	Umm, puleaze :)

	Grep is not something that can be used for solving such
	problems.  I do not see how XML obscures things, without
	providing some concrete evidence.

	Thinking extensibility, and the future, XML is the way
	to go as far as configuration is concerned, because it
	puts a lot of power at our finger tips.

	As far as changing configuration is concerned, you can
	edit an XML file, so I don't see your argument being
	concrete. :-)

	Thanks.
