As I just mentioned in another post, this works well as long as you have very small data sets, but will cause huge performance problems once you get into gigabyte-sized archives (which are currently actually considered "small" in scientific computing where people for LHC at CERN talk about petabytes/day)One last thought on the multiple format problem: it may be wiser to standardize all serialization on XML and rely on XSLT to transform into all the different formats we might want.
