I guess I am probably not completely up to date on this configuration
file format change stuff. I just keep trying to come up with reasons
why it requires changes.
Even if there are some things that cannot be done efficiently in the
current format, the whole suite of programs in ht://Dig makes extensive
use of the fact that the configuration attributes are accessed as a
hashtable. I am just pointing out the fact that the impact of a format
change could be much broader than it might first seem.
