Can you use another serialization format and supports file

The idea of the library is that it can support multiple archive
types. Currently only XML is implemented. I have been working
on a binary archive for a while but I haven't finished it yet.
I am also working on my own binary archive implementation (I just
want to quickly get a serialization of integral types, arrays and
structs into binary) and I have a question:
What is the purpose of the "keys"?
If they really needed, can it be realised as option and disable
them?
(I see also that they are forces to add a lot of duplicate
functions.)
I guess if it succeeded binary format can be made very compact
(and possibly faster) as Protocol Buffers.
