This is great, but only works where the software's author has written a custom parser to support it. An increasing amount of code is distributed with the configuration in XML, which is used when people explicitly want to avoid doing that. Are there any plans to allow IPS to intelligently cope with XML files whilst avoiding the need for scripting?
