I'm well versed in XML and complex XLST transformations and PERL, I do this all the time, but I still prefer to leave Hobbit's config files the way they are. I see no benefit in moving them to XML, except to support some yet-to-be-developed GUI configuration tool. Which I wouldn't use anyway ... I'm a command line type of guy. But if the Hobbit config is delivered in XML files in the future, I won't whine about it. I'll just vi the XML and be on my merry way.

We use scripts to build config files, especially bb-hosts and all of it's included files. I'd need a bunch of cycles to move that to xml, if only because I haven't (yet) done a lot with xml in scripting.
A gui would not help me at all. We automate everything we can with
perl.
I don't do perl *or* xml, so that would be a NO vote from me too.
