XML can be a blessing and a bane. It is the rose that is full of prickly thorns. Original World Wind XML configuration engine used Altova for marshalling and unmarshalling objects. Since then the parsing got moved to MSXML using XPath to remove the Altova dependency, but the configuration saving is not tied cleanly to .NET object serialization system leading to the need the a long-hand major layer parameters-to-file scheme I am working on. May be this can be extended to plugins once there is a common repository for them.
Hopefully this will be standardized to something allowing saving-restoring and network transmission of World Wind sessions, allowing people across the globe to view the same "world" in their respective World Wind installs.
