I am not certain I understand the question. Here is what the current (post-patch) dump code generates: <cf> cf name </cf> <pdp_per_row> value </pdp_per_row> <params> <value> value1 </value> <value> value2 </value> ... </params> Restore, of course, reads this. The old style was: <cf> cf name </cf> <pdp_per_row> value </pdp_per_row> <xff> value </xff> <cdp_prep> ... Of course, there was only one RRA parameter, namely xff. The syntax I am now proposing (for example) is: <cf> cf name </cf> <pdp_per_row> value </pdp_per_row> <params> <xff> value </xff> </params> OR (for example in the case of the HWPREDICT RRA): <cf> cf name </cf> <pdp_per_row> value </pdp_per_row> <params> <hw_alpha> value </hw_alpha> <hw_beta> value </hw_beta> <dependent_rra_index> value </dependent_rra_index> </params> With this approach, it is clear from a glance what the RRA parameters are. This also frees the xml dump from a fixed number of RRA parameters. Currently the code only supports 10, but that may change at some point in the future (though this would break backwards compatibility). The only downside is that the list of parameters tags will not be same for all RRAs. But as far as I can tell the xml will still be "well-formed" (here is the definition: http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/general/what-is-xml.asp). The same could be done within the cdp_prep scratch array.
