Several of those inits required services to be configured in XML.
Tell me one more time just so I understand: Why would *anybody*
configure their services with XML, thereby requiring the init system to
have a built in XML parser? XML parser in PID1, what could possibly go
wrong?

Why would you need an XML parser in PID1? You could parse XML in a
separate process and send off the results to a socket in either the
service manager for PID1 for processing control commands.
This is, in fact, how launchd does it (XML parsing is in launchctl).
Probably the *only* thing launchd got right.
