Although I hate XML as much as anyone else, I think it would be
interesting to raise that question on the general user mailing-list.

We have been discussing that in the past, and while there was mostly
consensus against XML (in OpenStack API) on the development list, when
the issue was raised with users, in the end they made up a
sufficiently-good rationale for us to keep it in past versions of the API :)
