DesireData has two config files, the client-only options being in a file 
called ".ddrc", which is in Tcl list format, pretty-printed. It works 
using key-value pairs. It would support any kind of nesting, if any option 
needed to be stored as a nested-list. This is rather close to the LISP 
style. It looks like this:

http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/pure-data/pd/src/defaults.ddrc?pathrev=devel_0_39

and this is arguably easier to read and write than XML.
