What do you mean with XML version?

I am not sure. 
Somebody has to write a good DTD first and then
XML doesn't have TeX's typesetting capabilities. 
Often I find myself using them to really typeset the References precisely.

If you want something like a .bib format in XML you might have to invent the
needed typesetting rules, too.

But, of course, if would be good, if the new program can handle different
Bibliographic databases.
