RE: XML was RE: RE: A portable preferences library b ut has nothing to do with them anymore

We are going in circles here, his data is zlib compressed, so the harddisk
costs are equivalent to a binary file (based on what Jorrit said).

And for the record, there are always many right ways. But there are also
wrong ways. 

Oh, and please Jorrit, I never meant to offend. I feel (based on offline
emails) that I might have offended. I'm sorry if that happened, as I think I
have posed only technical issues and nothing personal.
