Personally I prefer XML's structural flexibility over Java properties files, although XML's verboseness may give you a slight performance hit on app startup compared with using .properties.
flexibility is all well & good but w/out decent management tools, it's a wash. complex apps require large/complex rb files, my experience xml is noticeably slower in these situations. rb files & their proven tools (icu4j rbManager, etc.) are still the norm in the java world. XLIFF, etc. are still not standard except in transferring translations between apps.
