LISP is quite nice actually, but you'd need a complete LISP engine to read it...
That wasn't really a serious suggestion. The libguile.so.12.3.0 file on my system is over half a meg. Would all the LADSPA hosts be willing to add that and whatever else it entails to their memory footprint?
Libxml2 is even bigger, almost a meg. I wonder how many LADSPA hosts already use it for some other reason? I see that ardour, jamin and hydrogen do...
$ ldd `which ardour` | grep xml libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x40297000)
sure, libxml2 is huge, but almost everybody will have it in memory anyway, since it's used by other programs.
imho, xml *is* very human-readable if the DTD is sane and the output is pretty-printed. and it's already defined, all the tools are in place, and changing the DTD is a matter of writing a simple XSLT for the users to convert their old versions.
so ++xml.
