This draft, targeted at the SIMPLE WG, seems to have a high overlap with the netconf work. This is probably worth at least looking at to see what other groups are thinking about in the area of using XML for configuration.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The Extensible Markup Language (XML) Configuration
Access Protocol (XCAP)
Author(s) : J. Rosenberg
Filename : draft-rosenberg-simple-xcap-00.txt
Pages : 29
Date : 2003-5-26
This specification defines the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP). XCAP allows a client to read,
write and modify application configuration data, stored in XML format
on a server. XCAP is not a new protocol. XCAP maps XML document
sub-trees and element attributes to HTTP URIs, so that these
components can be directly accessed by HTTP.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rosenberg-simple-xcap-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
