I would like to read more on the NSKeyedArchiver XML format, but can't find
documentation on it. Is it open?

No. It's undocumented and could change in the future; writing code for another platform that parses it would probably be a bad idea.

NSKeyedArchiver has a property
"outputFormat" which can be set to NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0. However, I
thought property lists could only contain certain objects (dictionary,
array, etc.), and didn't handle things like circular references. Is the
property list format and the format used by NSKeyedArchiver the same?

The property list itself contains only strings, dictionaries, etc. But the information in that property list describes arbitrary objects. For example, each object might be represented by a dictionary whose keys are property names and values are integers that reference other objects in the file.
