I don't think anyone's asking you to type plists. I think the
argument being made here is that the boot loader ought to convert the
arguments from whatever format it finds convenient INTO a plist that
is then handed off to the kernel. This would be a nice way to handle
e.g. the bootinfo stuff that many ports currently have.
