Hi,

I think this is XML? So just a few technical remarks:
1/ There are some missing elements:
<pre class="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
</pre> is not mandatory but would be fine.
Furthermore there are no global surrounding tag, so this is not a valid XML 
file. There should be something like <configuration>...</configuration>

2/ Be careful to XML syntax, which can cause problems specifically while 
writing LDAP filters :
> <pre class="xml">
>         <getAllFilter>(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=*))</getAllFilter>
>         
> <getOneFilter>(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid={uid}))</getOneFilter></pre>
is incorrect, it should be:
<pre class="xml">
          <getAllFilter>(&amp;(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=*))</getAllFilter>
          
<getOneFilter>(&amp;(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid={uid}))</getOneFilter>
</pre>

3/ A DTD and/or an XML schema would be fine.

Regards,
Raphaël.

XML?
YAML?

Think about it being parsed/written by a web interface.

WIP : 

h2. XML :
 
+ Very easy to read/write for a computer
+ With CDATA we can write multiple lines JS
- Very hard to read/write for a human
 
h2. YAML : 
 
+ Easy to read/write for a human/computer
+ Can write multiple lines JS
 
h2. Properties :
 
+ Easy to read/write for a human/computer
+ Can reference other properties
- Can not write multiple lines JS
 
h2. NeXt/ Open Step configuration files 
 
See : 
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration/plist/PropertyListConfiguration.html
 
+ Easy to read/write for a human/computer
- Can not write multiple lines JS
