I'm a bit afraid that making the file more readable will just encourage more people to modify it directly. :-( Instead, couldn't we store the node type information as actual nodes in the same persistence manager we currently use for versioning information? This way we could get rid of the current virtual item states we use for exposing the node types under /jcr:system. Storing the type information as content would also simplify clustering, backups, etc. BR, Jukka Zitting
