VirtualBox exports in the Open Virtualisation Format [1], which is more or less an industry standard format, and again more or less driven by VMWare. Moving OVF appliances between different virtualisation systems is still a bit shaky but should soon be pretty simple.

That is great news! It sounds like an OVF package can be stored as a single unit or a directory of files. That should make everybody happy. :)
The single unit is just a tarfile so performance would be an issue if one were to execute it directly. Still, I agree, as things mature this could become really useful.
