This may seem a nitpick, but your beef is with RDF-XML, which is just
one way of representing the RDF data model.  There are other somewhat
more readable formats, although none as readable as the INI-format,
like N3 and Turtle.

Whether the DOAP tools, whatever they are, accept those other
representations, I have no idea.

Agreed here.  It's a < 100 line Python script to transform the INI
file into RDF-XML.  Who cares if it's reinventing the wheel if it
makes people's lives easier in the long run.
