Does it have to be an XML property list? If another XML format is
acceptable, the MPWXmlKit includes an XML NSArchiver/NSUnarchiver

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.
