Ah yes, I'd forgotten that there was more than one form for LLSD... I've only worked with the XML-style one thus far! Since, as you say, the format is not in the XML style, then it is likely that they hadn't. Or that they had, but chose this style for being more "human friendly" - like you said.
Since, as the linked page describes, the plan is to move this format into JSON, maybe this is a good opportunity for a community dev to get it fully into JSON format. ECMAScript 5th edition looks to be finalized: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm Then we could just use some JSON tools to write a converter. Or we write a patch for exporting in XML notation, as that provides some fun options, as discussed previously.
