Right; what I'm saying is, that if there is a DTD for "OS configuration
information", or if there's one in the works, then that's a strong
reason for DFBSD's installer to use XML - so data can be interchanged.
 
If there isn't, then I can't think of a strong reason to use XML, only
some relatively weak ones.
