Was that motivational enough? Seriously, I'll go looking for something like this. It would be awfully nice if we started to work towards a common parser for all configuration files, package files, etc, etc. XML seems like the right answer for this. Does anyone know of a good starting point for this (i.e. a BSD license XML parser library), or is there enough interest to make it worthwhile to write one in a clean room?
