hmmmm...

how about changing:

<modules>  
    <content>
        <layout>
            <name>exmaple_layout</name>
            <package>html.layouts</package>
        </layout>
        <load>
            <module>
                <id>product_list</id>
                <name>ProductLister</name>
                <package>user.mod.products</package>
                <load_order>1</load_order>
            </module>
            <module>
                <id>product_delete</id>
                <name>DeleteProduct</name>
                <package>user.mod.products</package>
                <load_order>2</load_order>
            </module>
        </load>
    </content>
</modules>

to:

<groups>  
    <content>
        <layout>
            <name>exmaple_layout</name>
            <package>html.layouts</package>
        </layout>
        <modules>
            <module>
                <id>product_list</id>
                <name>ProductLister</name>
                <package>user.mod.products</package>
                <load_order>1</load_order>
            </module>
            <module>
                <id>product_delete</id>
                <name>DeleteProduct</name>
                <package>user.mod.products</package>
                <load_order>2</load_order>
            </module>
        </modules>
    </content>
</groups>


Odysseas and I had discussed a way of "getting around" the "no name" thing
by making an assumption:

if you want an xml2php source xml to have "keyless" arrays, you define an
xml structure as follows:

<things>
    <thing>moo</thing>
    <thing>moo</thing>
    <thing>moo</thing>
</things>

i.e. plural and singlular.
