I'm not sure that this is a a strong argument for XOXO.   Interesting
and useful introspection data is going to be hyperlinked and crawable,
whether it is in XHTML or XML format.    Someone who wants their feeds
crawled will ensure that the traversal happens either way.

Having a declared MIME document type (vs. being embedded in XHTML)
would seem to make it much easier for a crawl to identify the content
for what it is.

Am I missing something about XOXO that makes it more crawl-friendly? 
Or did you mean something else by "search engine contexts"?
