Oh, I absolutely agree (which is why in my original post I said I "abhor" text 
formats). But for the purposes of source control, it has to be the "main" file, 
not some export, that's text.

Ideally, my app would have a domain-specific diff tool built-in, allowing for a 
nice binary file, but that's a lot of work! ;-)
