Hi Lukáš,

this has been discussed before. The result was that some people favor 
the Makefile, others would favor the XML (me included).

The next logical step, rather than discussing this to death once again, 
would be to branch out a development codeline and start playing with 
your ideas (which I support). Add an XML library. Output some mockup XML 
from it. Show what you mean. Discuss on that basis.

I think your analysis is right and that XML has advantages; and if done 
properly an XML to Makefile is also possible. Another possibility would 
be YAML. Have you considered it?

Regarding parser, aren't there libraries around that we can re-use?

Backward-compatibility is a non-issue IMO. The Makefile is always 
reproducible from the PTO file. Unless I am misunderstanding you 
completely and your plan is to replace the PTO file with an XML file? if 
you plan to replace the PTO with XML, we'll need a PTO2XML utility to 
convert older project to the new format, and maybe keep support for PTO 
loading during a transitional time.

Maybe you want to wait for Layout integration before branching out. Am I 
assuming correctly that the integration of Deghosting has worked well?
