Oh XML, XML. Another technology I ignored during my undergraduate studies that's coming back to haunt me.

The settings file for the genome class has lots of different types of data and so much data. I've come up with a format that I hope will be extensible and won't come back to bite me later.

<gene>
    tag        input
    tag        random
    tag        numExc
    min        0
    max        1
    value      1
    isVariable 0
</gene>

My long term goal is to move as much as I can to the genome so that evolutionary processes can determine the values.
