XML & INI

Hi group,

I am asking this because I am not sure if I am doing it wrong or if this
is by design.

Is it right that if I want to write a single value to an XML file I have
to read the entire file, change the value and then write the entire back
to disk? This seems crazy. When I use an INI file I can amend
individual values easily.
