P.S.
[please don't flame - just a crazy idea that may improve the procedure
of parsing configuration directives]

The next step, may be to start (incrementally) to port modules to a new
model - where these XML files are used for the first phase of reading
directives (mainly their parsing).

Of course, the semantics and logics of applying the config directives
(after reading and parsing them), will remain the same as today.

Since a backword compatibility will be kept temporarily, this step will
not be painful. This is like ap_set_..._slot: You can always use the
less automatic way, and define your own function.
