Maybe you should concentrate on this, first, to gain acceptance. Think of the thousands of tools out there which act on layouts independently from pcb. When the text file format goes away, they all have to be rewritten pretty much from scratch. No more AWK, shell scripts or similar to do this tweak or another.

You have to at least write an text importer anyways, for all the existing designs. Having a text file format, along with importer and exporter, the need for a binary file format pretty much vanishes. Handling all the objects internally with a database library is perfectly fine, IMHO.

Sounds good!
