Heh.

I vote against XML.  Or at least for XML to not be the only way to
config; you can always allow for multiple config mechanisms, and
accept whichever is present, and/or merge multiple config methods if
present.

syslog-ng has a perfectly good config format.  Might as well use
something similar to that.

So, what does rsyslog do that syslog-ng doesn't?
