Not hindered by much actual knowledge about this proposal, I share your 
feeling. It seems to imply working on the level of XML while we want to 
have something that's working on the semantic level of Zope 
configuration. This way, if we grow Python-based configuration or 
automatic configuration, the system will still work.
