I as well agree that it's not good if an application suddenly uses
different storage formats (without reason). But regarding the usage of the
XML registry I don't have any real opinion as I never used it outside of
Windows yet.

I simply wanted to correct the statement that the Registry unit is not
cross plattform. Whether it's suitable or not on non-Windows platforms
needs to be decided by everyone him- or herself in the end.

Regards,
Sven
