Hi,

Julien is right, just one minor addition:

Well, you can, if you use XML for inter-process communication
(SOAP-style). I wouldn't recommend adjusting our default XML document
layout to that, it just doesn't make any sense; we don't do that for
gst-editor either. However, as I said earlier, you can manually add
extra fields to XML files (gst-editor does that), and this is how you
could put the XID in the XML file. I'd recommend using this.

But by default, it shouldn't be there. As you say, it doesn't belong
there. I'm not adding the pointer address to my malloc()'ed buffer
resource in XML files either, for exactly the same reason.
