I'll have to heartily disagree with you here. Writing XML by hand is
surely an activity fit for an inner circle of Hell, but the fact that
it is a common declarative data format makes it fantastic for machine
generation.

I generate my rc.xml from Clojure:

Configuring my window manager with higher-order functions and
S-Expressions in a language of my choice is really awesome!

I would be sad to see Openbox adopt an executable data format like other
WMs (though adopting other extensible data formats would be OK).
