Exported/Internal File Format

All 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). Any properties of this type that are encountered while reading from or writing to the metabase are ignored. Also, properties of type IPSec (such as IPSecurity) are written out as serialized objects. Those objects are not human-readable during either direct examination, or as difference results.
