BFS is available but I think it needs more work on it before it can be 
useful; it didn't explore some optimizations it could have and currently 
spends much more time in lock contention with itself that necessary. 
I.e. it's usable only in very borderline cases.

I don't think XML would be applicable beyond fine-tuning an already 
existing scheduler (unless we implement a whole Turing-complete 
sublanguage in it :) ). Someone mentioned on a list that he has a 
"pluggable scheduler" infrastructure ready - this would be a necessary 
first step in modularization.
