I don't think trying to pick a "commonly used" format is necessarily 
such a good thing. For example, ChatZilla (which I work on) will have to 
parse whatever is used all by itself (including XML!), even though runs 
on Windows, and uses Mozilla as it's application host.

Personally, I like the idea of using the same format as the single file 
transfer, since it means I have less Regular Expression and parsing code 
to write. And XML is one the most bloated formats *ever*...
