There may be a difference at the API level, say if you want all the descendants of a. And things get more complex with: <a condition="some regexp"> ... </a> <a condition="some other regexp"> ... </a> (possibly with nested a's). Of course, you can always find a way to write that with the ini format, say [a1] condition = some regexp ... [a2] condition = some other regexp ... but you are completely hiding the underlying structure.
