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.
