OK, well, launchd as originally designed certainly was not (and is not) =
xml-aware.  This was on purpose.  You don=E2=80=99t want a lot of =
surface area in pid 1, which can never crash, nor do you want to bake =
your serialization format into stone tablets.

launchctl(1) does all the XML parsing and then passes the results to =
launchd using its own custom IPC format.  Was there some particular =
reason you violently inserted the XML parsing directly into launchd =
after the original architect(s) went to such pains to avoid such blatant =
penitentiary experiences? :-)
