What I would say is that if I were to do such a thing I'd be tempted more by JSON which is often a little less verbose than XML for many things and has plenty of libraries for parsing etc in almost any language.

Could we use xml? XML based processing is already in the java rt and it saves us another dependency. If things need to be tooled in a later stage i would prefer xml. To be honest, coding in DOM will cause me to tear at least a few hairs out, and JDOM is my favorite (which will cause another dependency).
To be honest, my preference for XML is a purely emotional one. Gr. Sim
