I mostly lurk on this list, but reading the preceding
proposal I figured I should note that, as a user, one of the
key features of org-mode is its lovely simplicity of syntax
and interface. If I really wanted to keep my files in
hand-hacked or generated XML, I could, but I'd much rather
keep 'em in, well, org (-: .

Hmm, personally I'd rather have it visible but clearly
labeled. Transparency is nearly always a good thing.
It's great that you're thinking about this stuff, and I'll
look forward to seeing where these ideas go.
