I created 
7144647 sysconfig insisting on input files having .xml suffix is unnecessary

The reason I phrased it this way is this (from another e-mail thread on

I think the simpler way of putting is: requiring an .xml extension when
scanning a directory is logical, requiring an .xml extension when I explicitly
provide the name of a file to be parsed seems unnecessary.
