Configuration is actually an Interface. It is therefore possible to use
something other than an XML document to configure the Configurable Object.
At one time I tinkered with using an LDAP respository as a Configuration
parameter. There is even somewhere in the code base an example of such a
beast. Unsure about the lifestyle extension stuff ,however.

Having said that I suspect that most people use XML documents.

  I'm curious as to why a Configuration object is passed to a
Configurable instead of a general-purpose XML document? Is it
possible to use XML configuration for a component (maybe a
lifecycle extension that provides that capability)?
