This is way it probably works based on my observation of the protocol
that Nicolas has documented. They likely have the breakpoints set in
the editor, then persist them into the XML format (not in the .as
files) to enable round tripping of the data (as was said below).
When debugging starts all breakpoints in the IDE/xml files/whatever
are sent automatically to the debugging player via the packet
format. Thus instead of the user manually setting them, the are sent
down in rapid fire succession on startup. That would be easy for an
API/tool to do. The runtime setting is an additional capability.
Best,

So, I don't freakin' know. Sounds like they're using the XML for
roundtrip breakpoints so that external editors can play ball with
the debugger and viseversa, but the IDE also manages it's own list
of breakpoints.
