Property Files and XML Properties

John Lam doesn't like my usage of property files at the bottom of Conditions in MSBuild vs. Ant.

Well, I could have used 

<xmlproperty file="${config}.xml" keepRoot="false"/>
instead. And what used to be 
Optimze=false
OutputPath=bin\\Debug\\
WarningLevel=1
in DEBUG.properties would become 
<root>
  <Optimze>false</Optimize>
  <OutputPath>bin\Debug\</OutputPath>
  <WarningLevel>1</WarningLevel>
</root>
in DEBUG.xml.

Better?
