I'd have said that using XML for INDEX is a bad idea, because INDEX can=20
then no longer be easily processed with any of the tools in the FreeBSD=20
base system. With the format it uses now, I can easily grep, awk, etc=20
it. If you need an XML version of INDEX, it's easy to have just these=20
tools build one for you though.

Not to mention that INDEX is already big enough as it is, imo. I don't=20
see why it should be bloated even more with redundant information.
