An XML nodelist could be thought of as a "superset" of the current nodelist. It
would be pretty easy to strip structure, extended characters, extra flags and
other "new stuff" from the XML nodelist and output a vanilla St. Louis format
nodelist, but when doing it the other way around the result would lack all the
"extended" features that the new format otherwise could provide.
