As much as I dislike XML, I think it is not a good idea to ignore it. XML should definitely be among the supported formats. Also, it would be nice to have a converter between them in the case package owners decide to switch to an alternative.
I don't know, the purpose of the alternative format discussed here is
supposed to improve human readability (which XML surely doesn't offer).
But on top of that I really think it would be a bad idea to complicate
the system with more formats without a very good reason. JSON should be
universal enough as the standard format for machine data exchange. What
would XML really offer additionally in practice?
Having said that, SDL is structurally more or less the same as XML, so a
generic XML<->SDL converter could be used for this.
