Data storage layer

I've been whining about filePro's data storage layer. It's a pain to write 
one-off exports up the ying-yang.

What about this.

Change the key segment from fixed width records to XML.
Allow the map to include weak encryption so that text that you want out of 
prying eyes is password protected.

Modern third party applications could read directly from the live data.

If a developer allows for writes to the data, it's no different than what we 
have today.

It's not so much a wish list item, but tossing it up for discussion as to
"Would this cause you to actually purchase an upgrade of filePro?", or would you 
care less.
