Why are settings stored in xml files vs database?
I'm not arguing the point, just curious, why are configuration settings storing in xml files (such as Framework.xml) instead of the database?

Right but why not keep the settings in the database?

Less overhead? Config is reasonably static. No need to run a query on stored variables.

Could it be that this method allow pretty much anything in the configuration vs a set key/value design in a database?

yes plus hierarchy. Things where key-value pairs now become key-array.
