Uh, no. XML is a data interchange format. It is most definitely not a configuration file format.
Sorry, I worded that all wrong. I meant to say that Apple's plist DTD was built for this, and this kind of usage of XML has never led me astray. Great way to store configuration data, IMO. Using XML for configuration data also makes it easy to catch syntax errors in larger configuration files, as well as makes it easier (again, IMO) to create GUI front-ends for configuration file editing/creation.
