I think our best option here is to have a closed XML file for the

Grant suggested.
Why the binary file?
Well, it's not needed for FI and storing the index configuration.
Grant mentioned though, that he knows users who would like to have
such a feature:

most people just create a single document usually to store binary
info about the index, but an binary storage might be good too.
I'm just thinking there might be info you want to store at the index
level that could be significant and you don't want to write it out in
XML, kind of like we have binary stored fields now.
I can see having storage at:
Index
Document/Field //already exists
Token
The key to Index and Token storage is that it not effect performance,
either that or it is an alternate implementation.
