I'd like to mention that none of the proposed formats except the XML approach would be capable of supporting the stuff we want to add to GIMP with GEGL.

Well, that pretty much settles that discussion...

Not really, since that reasoning is based on an untruth. And even if it wasn't, it's a logical fallocy to assume that because no graph-capible proposal was made, that XML was the only possible way of representing a graph in a file format.

According the library that reads and writes the new format, GEGL should provide this functionality.

Requiring an application to incorporate all of GEGL in order to read/write an XCF file is, in my opinion, a recipe for it not getting used by other applications. (and I say this as one of those other application developers).

That is why I suggest both a lightweight library and gegl routines for it. Actually, gegl can use the lightweight library for the loading.
