I wasn't asking for this, I was asking for clarification.  From the 
tone of your previous mail it seemed like you had some insight about
the details of the design that made using XML a problem.  From your
latest response it seems to be a lack of knowledge about XML...

No.  Again, based on my review of the design, I don't see an
issue with using XML.  It would really just be adding a
different flavor of text archive -- just much more complex.
