I believe that some of the work on this has been done already; Cocotron and GNUStep both seem to have at least a partial implementation of Core Data. As I stated before, this still makes me hesitant to use it, since even with a reverse engineered version of the framework, you still have the same two problems: 1. You don't know if the reverse engineered framework is 100% complete and covers every single corner case that might arise in a Core Data file, and 2. Since the format isn't published, there's no reason that Apple might make changes to it in the future, including but not limited to features that are technically in the private, internal specification which haven't been implemented yet, but which a reader would still need to be able to deal with.
