Given their aim (storing both history and bookmarks in a single data store that can be easily searched), you are talking about a lot of information here.

With XBEL, you'd end up having to parse the XML and either store it in memory for searching/display or writing it back out to disk in a form that can be searched quickly. And if you aren't going to be using the XBEL data most of the time, why not make the more efficient form the master and keep XBEL for exchange?
