"plus it's completely platform agnostic and future proof, because it's just text"
This always irks me a bit.
Being text doesn't mean that there is no file format and internal semantics to it.
Sure, it's easy to hack together some transformation in Perl, but "plus it's completely platform agnostic and future proof, because it's just binary" would be correct, as well. As long as the format is documented.
