If you want to build a strong house, you need a solid fundament. I
don't think the current configuration language is a good fundament to
build upon.

We would be well advised to first build that solid fundament before
thinking about higher level languages.

So how about a discussion to give Asterisk an XML based configuration as a base.

For backwards compatibility, the existing config language could then
sit on top of the XML as one alternative amongst others.
