Although the current version of XML nib files has some bugs, I think
XML nib files are the future. they can be examined in any XML editor
and can be compared etc. The problem is that there is no easy way to
merge differences. You can detect differences, but then you must pick
one of the versions.

Attended WWDC, loved the MVC goodies, and the objectifying of the
Controller glue code,
but something was nagging in the back of my mind.
And now it's in the front of my mind- How do developers currently diff
nib files, in a source control
environment?
It's one thing for one developer to change 'controller' .c glue code,
check it in to whatever
source control system they are using, then another engineer can do a
diff & see what has been modified.
But with an uber-cool, yet quite graphical representation, how can
engineer #2 see what UI engineer #1
mucked with in their nib file, and now, the control representations in
their nib file?.
Snooping in a .nib, I see some ascii files, and some binary stream
files, so it's not a clear cut case of
diffing text.
(besides, it would give me the heebies to edit the individual files
contained in .nib packages)
