[Mono-list] Registry, text or binary?

IMHO, I suppose Windows uses a binary registry file because the Win32 registry 
quickly gets huge and managing a text file would be waaay to slow.  In the case 
of Mono, I think there is no real reasons not to use a text file because I'm 
not sure registry will be used very much with .NET, let alone with Mono.

Of course, making this a build option would be OK to me.

My personal idea would have been to implement the registry using XML in Linux 
and use the native registry in Windows.
