        Yes, that's my understanding of XML as well. While I don't
think XML is *necessary* for a .conf (bind.conf, for instance, is its
own little world), it might be a worthwhile model to shoot for, as
there are standardization channels for XML schema's that are bigger
than the standardization channels for firewalls. Which means it would
get LEAF's stuff out in front of more people quicker.

        Thoughts on this?
