The .osg format is the old deprecated ascii format, that is still
supported for backwards compatibility.  The .ive binary format is also
deprecated but still supported.  These two formats are hand written
and independent from one another so require tool lots of hand written
wrappers, and .ive is user extensible.

The new .osgb, .osgt and .osgx file formats are a family of formats
that are all leverage the new object serializers that are user
extensible and resilient to versioning.  Once you implement your
serializers you get automatic support for all these formats.  The
serializers are also much easier to write than either then .osg or
.ive wrappers.  So all round goodness :-)
