Kinda off topic.

It sounds like a good idea and it might work for WINE but the Windows registry is a bloated mess.
I have seen Windows registrys get to 40mb+. Adding more keys for documentation like this is just
going to make the memory requirements higher and performance worse. 

If you wanted to go to a binary format, the ReactOS developers have offered to relicense the code
we have as LGPL so you might be able to do this without much of a performance hit. Anyway I havent
used WINE on *nix in a while so i dont know if this really is a issue but its something to think
about. I am not sure about the compression and performance numbers so it might not be a issue for
WINE at this point.

Thanks
Steven
