Hello I would also like to that it is great to hear that a next generation XDMF reader is in the works for Paraview. I've used XDMF files very successfully with Paraview; both manually generated XML to go with NetCDF4 as well as HDF5/XML files generated using the XDMF2 API.
The only rough spot I've had with the existing Paraview XDMF reader is that it seems to use more and more memory when generating a time series animation. If the dataset is large enough, the Paraview process will eventually run out of memory. I have an unchanging unstructured mesh with nodally centered data and a temporal collection with one XML file and one heavy data file containing all time steps. I can provide a link to full size data files if that helps the development/test process.
