Closed this as a rejected Feature Request.

(ConfigParser's history isn't nearly as neat as Martin
presents it, but we can pretend that's the whole story.  It
was never intended to support arbitrary file formats.)

ConfigParser is specifically designed to read .INI files, 
so I doubt that it will be extended to XML. If you need to 
read an XML configuration file, you best use 
xml.dom.minidom.
