Windows registry xml
Microsoft's .reg format for representing Windows Registry entries has many limitations, such as the inability to represent where Windows Registry information physically resides on the disk and the difficulty in representing Unicode. As a result, a variety of approaches have been implemented. Currently DFXML uses the RegXML standard to represent Windows Registry entries.
Note that proper XML does not support unpaired surrogates
