I don't really want to discuss XML too much on this list, it could get
into an off-topic religious discussion :-)
I'm just wondering about the format of the ipvs information in /proc,
which is basically the same human readable format printed by "ipvsadm".
I'd like to see a more machine readable format, but I don't think it
would be appropriate to put XML in /proc. That seems like a far reaching
precedent to me. On the other hand, if the ipvsadm command wished to
have a option to represent that information in XML, I can see how that
could be useful.
Cheers,
Doug
