This decoupled approach is problematic.  A large part of the point of libxo is 
to allow changing the human-readable output without breaking tools that consume 
the output.  Now I need to keep the tool that consumes it and the tool that 
produces it in sync, so that's an extra set of moving parts.  When you throw 
jails with multiple versions of world into the mix, it becomes a recipe for 
disaster.
