Why would you need text-like XML if you get a good tool that converts to a more useful data entry format? Wouldn't you just use more efficient binary encoding for storage/interchange, while converting to something user-UI-friendly?

Yeah, I agree, doesn't necessarily have to be XML. But adding a highly productive UI layer on top of existing standards would be a great start.
