Locians,

There's an interesting article at arstechnica about Mac OS X using XML for
system configurations (first few pages):

  http://www.arstechnica.com/reviews/1q00/macos-x-dp3/macos-x-dp3-1.html

(BTW, the article says a bit about the GUI and using large icons.)

Of course, OS X is UNIX-based, and so this shows how XML can be used with more
traditional UNIX tools.

XML for configuration/preferences is something I'd like for Loci.  Gary told me
he'd prefer standard rc files.  What do you guys think?
