: In this case, we need to be careful what we decide is an XML plist and
: what is a binary plist. I wouldn't dream of having (from a separate
: thread) bootprops use a binary plist for this very reason.

: Less critical things (lets say for example the dhcpd leases database, or
: utmp/utmpx) would be fine with a binary plist.

  As a rule of thumb, I'd suggest: if it's basically a cache, and the
system still works reasonably well if you delete the file, it can be
in binary format.
