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.
