| Reads a binary PList file and returns it as a NanoXML XMLElement.
The NanoXML XMLElement returned by this reader is equivalent to the
XMLElement returned, if a PList file in XML format is parsed with
NanoXML.
Description about property list taken from
Apple's online documentation:
"A property list is a data representation used by Mac OS X Cocoa and Core
Foundation as a convenient way to store, organize, and access standard object
types. Frequently called a Òplist,Ó a property list is an object of one of
several certain Cocoa or Core Foundation types, including arrays,
dictionaries, strings, binary data, numbers, dates, and Boolean values. If
the object is a container (an array or dictionary), all objects contained
within it must also be supported property list objects. (Arrays and
dictionaries can contain objects not supported by the architecture, but are
then not property lists, and cannot be saved and restored with the various
property list methods.)"
XXX - This implementation can not read date values. Date values will always
have the current date.
