So my question is; Why not do both?
If you store the IPTC data in the file if format supports and then write the
same data to the XMP file, you will have the speed of reading the XMP for
the initial view, plus the portability of the IPTC data.  If you add a
'Syncronize button, those of use that do a lot of file transferring and
manipulation of tags can make sure they are in alignment on a regular basis.

I am using Shotwell for genealogy photos for over 30,000 people in my
database.  Many of the picture have many tags and I regularly export them
out to DVDs for other people to view and use.  If we can get these tags all
figured out and working with GRAMPS, we will have a solution that the
Windows people could only dream of.
