XML is text-based, so it should -always- be readable in a text editor.
It's part of the definition, I believe.

However, an implementation of one of the alternative binary XML
formats would probably be very welcome.

Fast Infoset: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.891-200505-I/en
EXI: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-exi-20070716/

I don't know enough about either format to say if it would be
possible, but an implementation that conformed to the ElementTree API
could be a big win.
