The Core Data persistent store formats Apple provides are unfortunately 
undocumented yes, but I believe you can subclass NSPersistentStore and persist 
your data in whatever format you want:

<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/cocoa/Conceptual/AtomicStore_Concepts/Introduction/Introduction.html>

"This document describes how to use the atomic store API to create custom 
persistent stores for Core Data applications.  You should read this document if 
you want to create a Core Data persistent store for which you manage the file 
format."

I've never tried, but hopefully it works.

Maybe a kickstarter project to create a nice NSPersistentStore would be better. 
:)

Cheers,
