Just to make sure we're all on the same page - there's no need to remove
the binary support, I was only suggesting the addition of some
text-based export utility.  As someone mentioned before it is easy to
compress text files to a fraction of their size, but I am not trying to
start an XML/Text vs binary debate - I'm saying it would be good to have
both!
