That is exactly my thought. Updating the xsd is relatively easy, and =
it's just one file per schema. Handling a new attribute or element is =
just a few lines of work.

If that is going to happen, it would be post 3.0, because only 9 days =
are remaining, right?

I can see why JSON would be attractive, but that would also be forcing =
plugin authors to re-do their config file that they recently created for =
3.0. Potentially we could use XSL to transform config.xml to config.json =
automatically for a bridge period.

I'll start playing with an XSD and put it out for review.
