It will be pretty slow; you are building a DOM structure based
on a XML document; then this DOM must be converted to the real
document class; This is a lengthy process.
The XML is good in Design mode; when compiling the binary, it should
be converted to something that works faster.

Binary, I think.
Which reminds me, whoever designs the streaming mechanism, should definitely bear this in mind.
There might be a property of TReader/TWriter that would decide into which format the properties should be written.
