"e.g." means: The current concept is still centered on XML. But it doesn't have to. Currently, it gets informed about start of an element, end of an element, some attribute to an element, and textual content of an element. This is perfectly matched with XML, but already kept somewhat generic. XML as configuration language has several sides: 1. It's very well processible by machines, but still human readable to a certain extent. 2. It's a very ugly and uncomfortable syntax for human beings. 3. Due to 1., 2. is only partially an issue, because you've got very good tool support. The idea is very young right now and the concept centered on handling XML. But, actually, I myself would really like to see some nicer syntax than XML for Silk configuration files myself, I'm completely open there. But the goal is still: It has to be easy to use, for both the users and the developers. cu, Raffi -- The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference, but in practice, there is.
