I think you misunderstand. We aren't replacing the XF86Config file here. This is for DRI specific driver settings with capabilities extending to having special options for individual programs if need be.
Now if I am mistaken and you did understand ... Your argument is bogus. You can't claim that every XML file format leads to unreadable files. Now, if you have a good *technical* reasons why we shouldn't use XML - I would love to hear them. Couple of good reasons to use XML: *) Parser with validation capabilites already written. *) More and more utilities are using it ... fontconfig for example. *) bindings for all major languages. *) A copy of libxml already exists in the tree if a person doesn't already have it. *) Extensible. *) It can be edited with any text editor.
