I've been wondering that myself.  Isn't the whole point of XML 
portability (or interoperability) across platforms, at the price of 
"bloated" data and "inefficient" performance?  That's usually a good 
tradeoff, but not if you stay in a proprietary box.

I guess it lets MS leverage all the other XML stuff they do, basically 
to support "interoperability" across the various components, teams, 
etc.
