I honestly don't understand why XML could be considered a bad thing 
here. Some sort of format is going to have to be defined, and why not 
XML? For those of us that don't want to link to XML libraries, we're 
really only dealing with one specific format of data so it can be 
manually parsed just like any other solution will have to be. For those 
of us that don't mind using XML libraries, we have that choice. Manual 
parsing of XML conforming to a known schema may be a little more 
difficult than whitespace delimited strings, but, speaking as somebody 
whose had to do it on a couple of occasions, it's not too bad.
