Description

This non-standard XML structure was invented to encourage developers to use the XMLDB editor, it does not seem to work much because most people still edit it manually. In recent releases we added most of the XML structure validation to installer - this seems a lot more reliable for any rule enforcement.

Benefits:

easier install.xml editing
much much nicer diffs
