property list representation will be a better solution.
There is one written by the kind folks of OAAI (the people who are
releasing Glyphix! 2.0 very soon) in Objective-C. It's called
OAPropertyListCoders and is Open Source and I made some improvements to
it (being a good net citizen I forwarded those to Mark Onyschuk).
It is based on the old-style property list format but I don't think it's
that much work to convert it to use XML.
I would be willing to put it somewhere public but I think you can find
it at the ftp site of OAAI. If you can't find it, drop me a line and
I'll see what I can do.
