It seems like this proposed XML was dropped for v4 but I just want to
chime in: raw boolean <foo/> style options are a pain to deal with for
apps. Anything like this should use the tristate <foo value='on|off'/>
pattern, otherwise there's no way for XML to distinguish between 'user
explicitly requested value=no' vs 'user didn't explicitly request anything'
