Except if this serialization can be merged with the writing of the xml
parameters once we switch to that. In this case, the thing would make
more sense (and allow to define bindings to tune individual
parameters).
We don't need XML to sanitize a the format of the passed string, we
could do that now using <key, properties> requests. But I object that
this is needed at all, we have a fine in-memory Buffer structure and we
should use that. This serialization is the number one reason why the LyX
dialogs are so hard to modify for beginners. I've programmed a lot in
property based languages (MATLAB GUIDE) and I much prefer the Qt C++ way.
