I am not sure you have ever used S-Expressions then, they are *vastly*
easier to parse then XML.  If you want a plain SExpr parser (with no
language execution), there is a tiny library on Google code that does
it faster then any XML parser and in vastly less code, both for the
library side and the user side, although the best aspects of SExpr
configurations are thanks to things like Scheme and Lisp as it allows
you to put arbitrary code in the configuration file, while still
looking completely like the configuration file.  It *vastly*
simplifies things.

Here is a great example of what I speak, first Google result I found:
