Not to start any architecture flame wars.. but what is the advantage of storing a text intensive format like XML for long term use? On my side of the fence, it would seem like one is taking a hit to compress/uncompress the XML data, parse it then utilize it.
App specific storage would seem to make more sense to me then utilize XML as the "on the wire" format. But I'd really like to hear the opinions of others who probably have dealt with the good/bad/ugly side more than me.
