Look I am a fan of lisp.

Lisp is well known and seasoned language. As the machine language of
artificial intelligence only lisp is the right language to be parsed
automatically. Configuration files are not intended to be read or
written by humans. A human never could read 100 lines of code without
making error. Real bind configuration files are longer than 100 lines.

There exist at least two versions of xml: The microsoft one and the
others. I have written my homepage using vi. Look into any xml
written by a microsft tools. You will never find out what they are
trying to. Not even my conquerror browser did. It crashed.
