I think as big solution we should use OpenStreetMap-Software stack (editor, 
Database, Rendering and APIs) for our own data. The rules we can change than. A 
lot of objects like "Interstate5" are already in OpenstreetMap and we have with 
the project WIWOSM over 400.000 links  between these objects and Wikidata. The 
own OSM-Software should be only for objects that are out of scope from the 
OpenStreetMap (OSM) project, like fuzzy objects e.g. bird habitats. For 
historical objects that also out of scope from OSM  we are in contact with 
openhistoricalmap project.

A smaller solution would be to support geoJSON like it's also supported by 
Github[1]. But please keep in mind that a complex geometry (e.g. borders of 
russia) can have over 100 kb and than think that you want to store different 
version of it on one Wikidata page to document historical changes. -> I think 
this will not work.

As Google stops to support external KMLs in there own Google Maps I see no big 
future in these format and would prefer a cleaner data format.
