Although it might help a bit to get some exposure for the solution on freedesktop.org or other developer sites. As for XML, with a proper API there's no reason to worry much about the format of the configuration data files. The applications would never look directly inside any config file anyway. Some people might want to use a central SQL server for config files, someone else might want to use traditional /etc flat files etc..
