Gentle persons: Since we've talked about it recently, you may be interested to know that the new version of the CadSoft Eagle schematic capture and board layout program has been released to beta testing. As promised, it uses an XML-based external file format. (The good news is that XML data structures have replaced a proprietary binary format. The not so good news is that the pcb fab shops have to catch up.)
I haven't had time even to download this version but take a look at http://www.cadsoftusa.com/betatest/ if you are interested. Linux, Windows, and Mac versions are available. Note they have names like eagle-lin-5.91.1-beta but by all accounts this will be Version 6 when it comes out of beta. This is not open-source software but moving to a file format that can be parsed and processed by other programs is the next best thing.
