Actually, XML (or HRN or whatever other format) will eventually replace SLF 
(the current format) on those systems that can handle it/want it - running in 
parallel is only necessary while the tools are new and 100% redundancy is 
requred.

But like I said, systems that run on XML will emit SLF nodelists for whoever 
needs them - that conversion is a simple one.
