I'd hope the patent offices are gearing up. Wouldn't the recent 'creative content' ruling insure that *somebody* will try to protect what they can prove is theirs? Seems that's likely to be pretty well covered in the case of Microsoft code.
There's no reason that your standard command-line tool, even, couldn't present your XML data in a truly human-readable format like: device = ( name = eth0 address = 192.168.1.2 netmask = 255.255.255.0 onboot = yes ) After all, that's just exactly what your basic "text editor" does! The 'text' it edits is hardly human-readable in it's native format... -rsh
