Unless I'm mistaken, this is the story:
A while ago, Sibelius introduced the Schorch plug-in, enabling Sibelius
users to post sheet music files in .sib format on the web. Eventually
Coda had to respond to this, and for some reason (probably because they
didn't know how to crete a plug-in) they went one step further and
offered a scaled down free version of Finale rather than just a file
reader plug-in.
Sadly enough it seems that the concepts of cooperating to make a common
standard and of creating a true (i.e. cross paltform) internet file
format are completely alien to both companies :(

Well, it should be doable. Finale uses two different file format, and
one of them is text, not binary.
