One feature I look for in any program that handles documents is the ability to split a document into multiple files and store the data in a format that diff and patch can usefully manipulate (i.e., loosely-structured text with line breaks between independant parts). File formats like this can be version controlled effectively with CVS, which can be very helpful for collaboration and record-keeping. Anyone know what Scribus's file format is like?

(Someday, somebody has to get a diff format for XML standardized so that competant version control and structured data will play well together)

I seem to recall that the format was said to be XML.
