I wonder if it would be worth avoiding the double negative.  In other
words, introduce a new parameter "xbatch" with a default of "false" that
you set to "true" if you want to allow XBATCH access.

(I know INN has a few double negatives in configuration already, but they
tend to confuse people so it may be worth avoiding adding new ones.)
