As you're well aware, we're less in favour of XML. However support for alternative formats with automatic cross-conversion makes all the versions equivalently first-class citizens, which is good enough for us.
The XSLT convertors start with XML and convert to the other formats. In practice, ElasticHosts will likely start with TXT, and convert from there to the JSON, XML, etc - it would be great to see automatic convertors in this opposite direction too, to validate that it can be done. Writing these will also impose discipline
This is a great point - cross format converters will make it easier to spot bugs. alexis
