Ok, agreed. XML has many benefits. But It don't think it that important
to do it now. If you would go ahead and provide a simple XML class
that could be used for example storing settings, providing it with enough
virtual stuffing functions, and a lot of reserved space for variables,
we could perhaps starting to discuss how we can put this into the
OpenBeOS support kit.
But I see a problem here. This has not been done yet. Desiging a
flexible and future oriented XML class or kit it a lot of work.
It will take valueable resources away from the main goal
of the OpenBeOS project, creating a open source replacement.
