I can absolutely second this! Human readability and understandability 
ist one of the main reasons why XML formats are being used. I guess this 
is also the reason why XML is used in TV.

The format of theses XML-snippets in the database does not really matter 
to me, as long as it is still editable XML in the backend.
I opt for perfomance ;-)
