The whole process yes, writing the code to generate the file given the
info was in a database I doubt would take me more than an hour.

On the other hand, when you total up the total hours of clients and
server side code, it is orders of magnitude easier to create and
maintain a programmer API.  The big advantage is not so much the
format, but that it sits still (or is XML-style upward compatible) and
has no undocumented variants.

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to 
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
