Hi!

This is actually highly debatable. Nesting does not allow you an easy 
way to know where each value belongs to - you'd have to climb up the 
tree and hope you didn't skip some branch by chance. Of course, it is 
much more verbose, but you don't really need that many levels of 
hierarchy. If you give up on literally translating xml, I'm sure you'll 
notice that start_servers can live on it's own without being prefixed, 
etc. So you'd have one level for FPM in general, one for specific 
worker, one for category and one for actual option:

fpm.myworker.server.start_servers = 20
fpm.myworker.php_defines.memory_limit = 64M

etc. It's not that bad.

As for spaces in pool names - come on, you're not going to write a novel 
there. No programming language allows spaces in identifiers and we 
manage to live with it :)

It shouldn't be part of php.ini, but it'd be nice if it was part of php 
config system.
