You probably need other reasons to switch to XML. As Ole will also assert that tagged text is much more flexible.

In our database catalog application, we started out thinking XML would do it all, but quickly ran into limitations that required us to use both scripting and XML. However, with the ammount of scripting needed to make the XML work for us, we really don't gain anything by using XML at all.

Tagged text, on the other hand, we haven't tried, but I understand why it's better than XML. There is simply more built into the "schema" of ID tagged text. ID has a lot to improve on the XML side. I don't have the slightest idea though, what the next version will bring.
