Configuration file format may change, but providing an XSL to migrate it should be a piece of cake should it ever happen.
As an aside, Spring's BeanFactory is completely decoupled from the XML format. The BeanFactory relies on an abstract BeanDefiniitionReader and the XmlBeanDefinitionReader is just one of the possible implementations. There are implementations available for reading bean definitions from property files or SQL tables and of course one can always implement more.
Sure, but we should try to avoid this, i.e. use the container in the most standard way as far as possible, to avoid users to learn yet another config file format. However, extending the XMLBeanDefinitionReader may be a good solution to feed Avalon components that needs them with a Configuration object.
