"CFPreferences property list change (Section added since WWDC)

In Tiger, CFPreferences now writes out its property lists in the
binary plist format. Panther will read these plists without
modification, although it will write plists as XML. The binary format
is smaller in all cases - for preferences plists that have structures
like arrays of dictionaries where each dictionary has the same keys,
the new plist on disk may be 2 or 3 times smaller.

You can share a home directory between Tiger and Panther without
issue. Should you need to rewrite a plist manually for some reason you
can either convert the plist using plutil(1) or just open it up and
edit it using the Property List Editor application."
