I'd like to not have XML, please.  XML is hard to read - there is way
too much repetition compared to content.  If you have to change the
syntax, please use something more lightweight than XML (or make
absolutely sure we do not have to deal with the XML at the source level
in any way except when adding or removing devices/options to/from the
source tree.)
