Julian,
we had our reasons for ruling it out back them: mark-up languages always
take up more disk space than binary files, which also results in a speed
impact.
But everything has its uses. I'm sure we can later provide export to and
import from XCML files, since it's good as a transfer format, but
ineffective as a work-and-edit format if it's not a human but a machine
manipulating the files.
