Steve, I don't know much about the file format at a low level. You 
point out legitimate issues though. However, there are also favorable 
aspects to the file format:

+ the RR IDE saves it's project files *extremely* fast; useful for big 
projects
+ .rev stacks can be password protected to encrypt the stack
+ .rev stacks are kind of like a natural plug-in usable by all 
developers

Although the latter two are probably just as do-able with a plain text 
format.
