        Are we implicitly describing our configuration entirely in terms
of XML?  I know the objdb has some other representation, but all the API
we discuss here assumes that.  Which leads to a couple of questions:

1) If we are entirely in terms of XML, do we want to push that
   representation all the way down (including into objdb)?
2) Conversely, if we have an objdb with a different representation, do
   we want to allow applications/plugins to see that?  If so, what's
   that API?  I don't see it here.  I don't mean removing the XML-style
   queries, I just mean they are a convenience on top of the core
   representation, so can a cluster application access that core
   representation?
