it seems more time-efficient (in my case) to parse the XML file...
unless there are particular hazards/risks involved?
Those plists used to be plain text, but Apple has now started saving
them in an opaque binary format. If you'd deployed a "parse the XML"
solution under 10.3, it would suddenly break under 10.4 when Apple
changed the plists to binary.
"plutil" on the command line can convert from binary to text and back
again, so you can convert the thing in to plain text before parsing it.
Going through the API would insulate you from that kind of thing.
