Nothing is easier and simpler than
[any-section]
parameter1=value1
parameter2=value2
Compare to XML (= the WEB PAGE 'new idea'), plain text is common, well
established and a significantly more mature standard. Plain text is
easier to read with vastly improve clarity, compared to XML, and no line
indentations or angular brackets required.
I note your reference to XML being "common, mature standard" omits any
praise for XML and also omits calling it "good" :-)
