This statement is meaningless. XML *is* an '"ancient" style text
format' - only with a (very large) collection of standards describing
the format, and an (even larger) collection of software for processing
text in that format. And "better" is a judgment call.

For instance, it's hard for me to consider any text format that
doesn't support both external validation and autocompletion in popular
editors as "better" than XML. 

Of course, those do require a schema of some kind, and I can't seem to
find one for the document in kern.geom.confxml.
