I've recently noticed that some applications that I installed use XML 
files for configuration.  I use INI files but they are sometime a little 
awkward when saving user configurations, particularly when the number of 
some items is not fixed.

Is it advisable to use XML files for this?  A side effect would be that 
I would learn some XML, of course.

Thanks

Nate
