Remarks
The implementation of this interface doesn't need to be able to serialise and deserialise everything
that XmlSerializer can do, it just needs to be able to do enough to handle the Configuration.xml file.
I used to use XmlSerializer to read and write this but then Mono started whining about namespaces, so
I needed to work around Mono (again). This is the result. I'm not writing anything else in XML, any new
serialisation is going to use JSON. However I can't switch the configuration over to JSON, it would make
life hard for people who want to roll back to pre-JSON-configuration versions of VRS.
