XML doesn't offer the features we need. If we define an XML schema for
LADSPA2 descriptions, and someone extends it, you can bet your bottom
dollar that it will break 90% of the parsers in some exciting way.

I'm a big fan of XML, all my plugin source is in XML. This just isn't
the right application for it.
