Exported/Internal File Format

All four IIS types use an XML format to store their section of the metabase. The present XML format does not support metabase properties of type NTACL (such as AdminACL); if any are encountered while reading/writing to the metabase, they are ignored. Also, properties of type IPSec (such as IPSecurity) are written out as serialized objects, and as a result they are not human-readable (during either direct examination, or as difference results).
