Why?  Because everybody is very familiar with them.  Why? because its simple
and easy to maintain and modify.  Yes, the XML parsing needs to be moved to
a separate module, but the classes themselves have held up fine.  I will not
allow you to add anything overly complex like the mess you did with
datasources.  David, you have never ever built a piece of software for JBoss
that was even remotely intuitive to configure.  Configuration is not your
strength so please STAY AWAY from it.  I'm warning you.  If I see an XSLT
translation anywhere within EJB land I will roll it back.

Guys guys!  These are configuration files!  We're doing something seriously
wrong here if we're doing XSLT transformations and jumping through hoops
just to configure a bit of metadata.  The implementation of configuration
needs to be simple enough so that the casual JBoss contributor can easily
add his/her little configuration tweak.  All you're doing by adding all
these configuration abstractions is putting up barriers for new developers.
