it was just the idea that most (if not all) people which have the need
or at least a benefit from that proposed file, are natively speaking
XML ;)
and if it's getting implemented, I assume it wont make a difference to
printf() xml or "somehow" formatted text.
It's just a personal preference, I simply like outputs that can be
verified and validated. For that particular file you're obviously right
and xml would be an overkill, since the only use I can imagine would be
a synchronization mechanism of a keydump mesh...
So, yes, stay with text.
