I think a lot of people would reformulate it as "anything but the XML
style gconf uses". OTOH has anyone a real beef with for
example /etc/fonts/fonts.conf?

XML is no worse than any other text file format, OTOH *many* people have
been abusing it. So you just need some strong style conventions. XML by
itself is no silver bullet.
