yes, but earlier, ganglia dumped xml in favor of s-expressions. Also,
a little birdie in xensource told us they declined to go with xml and
stuck with sexpressions.
People are beginning to realize just how much XML sucks as a universal
description language. Too late in some cases, but we can hope.
It is quite pathetic that people all jumped on the XML bandwagon, and
then we have binary XML (!) and XML co-processors (!!) and nobody
realizes that there's something wrong with this picture (!!!).
