Why? I'd much rather handwrite XML than YAML.  
And I'd certainly prefer it to the existing file formats, which I can barely edit without looking up the meaning of each position.

I'm not sure that I see a good reason for the hatred of XML.  I've never found the size of Inkscape documents to be absurd, for example, and the fact that python and other languages can manipulate it so easily is definitely a plus.
