Type safety can be enforced by requiring java-bean like properties on the configuration object.
E.g.
<property name="timeout" value="123wrong43"/>
<property name="conction" value="blah"/> <--name of the property misspelled -->

Both would fail to be set on the object:

XyzStoreConfig {
  void setTimeout(long timeout);
  void setConnection(String connection);
}

This wouldn't require writing a parser and would provide type safety. Wdyt?
