Ok. Makes a good deal of sense. Just wasn't clear if it was duplication of effort, but 
if the eventual goal is to move it to Commons, don't see why not.

May be able to contribute the XML one, but have to take a look at the Configuration 
first.

  The configuration package contains an interface for accessing config
  data. One implementation of Configuration is properties based, which is
  similar to / based on ExtendedProperties. However using the
  configuration package allows use of other (yet to be implemented)
  configuration formats. An XML one is planned (the empty class is already
  there). In the future others will exist, or users can implement their
  own, and configure fulcrum, torque, or turbine with it.

  The move is turbine level only. This is consistent with the goals of
  stratum, to isolate reusable discrete components in turbine, factor them
  out, refine them, and when they are ready eventually move them to
  commons.

  More abstraction, more flexibility.
