There's no XML format, but it should be fairly easy to use pykickstart
to get this information. In fact, I've already got code to do this.
The attached script will print out a list of all the supported kickstart
commands and their options for whatever version you want. It'll also
tell you whether the option is deprecated or not. It appears to be
confused by commands that have aliases, so part and partition get the
same big long list of stuff.
