    It is true that XML is not required, but XML is the format chosen
    by the developer who has actually spent time on this, so I don't
    think you have a particularly strong voice to critize his choice
    unless you plan to spend your own time working on this issue.

    Why the f**k are we so quick to shoot our own developers in the
    back in this project ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
