Just a note about what I mean by "INI" file. I'm not talking about Windows INI files where you use the windows system calls to extract information. I'm talking about a simple text file with tags similar to what is seen in an INI file. With such a file, you can have it do anything you want, including read/write XML formatted text.

For example, PMB's extra info could simply be skipped over if not usable - I don't see a need for XML to do such a simple thing.

I don't really care if XML is used or not, I just don't see what the big deal is about it. Given the lack of advantages, my concern is that if we stick to XML then we are limited to XML.
