I'm strongly against XML config files.

I'm also strongly against moving Bacula configuration details/data out
of simple text files, and further complicating configuration storage
or generation of a configuration file.  I'm against this whether one
proposes the use of a DB, Augeas, Puppet or whatever the next
'you-beaut-thing' is :)
