[gst-devel] gstreamer 0.9 and XML representation of elements

This was exactly how it was in the past, and nobody considers it an
important enough feature to keep it alive.  The editor was the primary
user of this feature, and nobody has even started porting the editor to
0.9.

Bottom line - if you say you care for it, help maintain it.
