Would it make Unix systems easier to use if all the *.conf, Access Control Lists etc. were written in an established XML format?
Basically what I am talking about is writing XML enabling patches for systems like Samba, DHCP, BIND etc. etc.... Wouldn't this facilitate the development of GUI configuration interfaces? Would it also facilitate things of which I am not aware or have not thought of? Note that a text mode editor could be developed for said format such that files could be viewed and edited from the command line.
