What are these XML files actually for? I don't understand why this
information needs to persist - can somebody explain the reason?

When these files become corrupted for whatever reason, xend fails to
start altogether. At the very least, this needs to be made more robust
(I may work on a patch for this once I understand this stuff better).

regards,
john
