The data in the settings.xml can be seen as public, but at least
currently the way it is transported (as string in the way you pointed
out) is "private". If we made this public we should rethink the
representation before (IMHO), perhaps structured data would be a better
approach then. Wether we can do this depends on the application
developers and if they have time to change their code. Of course we also
need to explain why they should do it - what are the use cases where
anyone might need this information.

Best regards,
