Q: Why does kvoctrain use XML as storage format ?

A: The main reason for me: it is a human readable format (albeit you might not understand the whole structure at the beginning if you are not familiar with xml).

If a file gets damaged, you can load the remainder into your favourite text editor and repair it. With a simple text editor it is also possible to work around some missing features in kvoctrain: search-and-replace or deletion of larger blocks.

But be careful when editing manually. It is always a good idea to make a backup before editing.
