Code is always changeable so long at there is solid motivation to do so.

Yes, XML can sometimes be a heavy solution, but also has a set of
positives. It really depends on the implementation in which it is being
used. Classic "it depends" response - sorry! ;)

Love to iterate this, draft-manderson-rdns-xml-01 was submitted via the
rfc-ise as it really is a specific item targeted at a provisioning portion
of the DNS hierarchy that has been in production for a number of years.
The draft is more to allow the transparency of ICANN operations in such
areas that makes sense with the hope that it can provide information to
other folk looking to implement similar systems, or spark the thought
processes in others that might come up with viable improvements.
