I think what Dave is pointing to , is that there's nothing in the spec
that says an application has to use <config:config-item> element to
store it's application-specific base settings. It could store them
anywhere withing the document tree using all kinds of non-inerop extensions.
The element is there. Just not the text that says an application
should/must use that to store it's base settings.
