I plan to stay with the current script table separation, e.g. core, extra, 
serweb and presence. For 'advanced user' it would be of course possible to 
edit a config file.

The benefit of XSL is that you don't need to write an own parser and can use 
existing scripts.. The XML dialect i would like to choose would be really 
simple. But i'll think about this, and do some tests with other approaches.
