XML adds very little except troubles (IMHO).
Enhanced RTTI can be implemented directly in C++, either using:
- macros approach (GUI framework called VCF does this)
- having class description similar to one found in Boost.Python.
AFAIK Daniel Wallin is refactoring this functionality
into general purpose library.
Builders/customization software/etc than has direct access
to always valid GUI information..
