Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu and configuration file?

[Mike Kronenberg]

As I mentioned in a earlier thread about config files, one of the big  
advantages of XML is it's language independence.
There are french, spanish, japanese, chinese people using qemu,  
resulting in imagenames / paths in the corresponding language.
ASCII/UTF-8 is not everything.
