Does it have to be an XML property list? If another XML format is acceptable, the MPWXmlKit includes an XML NSArchiver/NSUnarchiver pair, which means you just have to implement the NSCoding protocol.

That sounds interesting. The only reason I wanted to have it in a plist is that one can edit them in the Property List Editor tool. Not a big loss.

You are right, that would be nice.

But I take it from your answer that I can't do what I wanted with standard plists?

I am not sure. There have been plist archivers, but I am not sure I would call the result a 'standard' plist. A plist is really much simpler than a rich object graph. If your data can fit within those limitations, plists can be a good idea.
