Am I correct in my thinking that the format of a XIB file is an

It is a private format, yes.
This means it is undocumented, and even if you do reverse-engineer
it, it may change in the future.
Thanks. Sadly, this makes it impractical to do i8n stuff in a cross-
platform manner when dealing with tens of thousands of strings. In the
real world, anyone doing the translation work does not want to have to
open up these files individually to edit the strings stored
within...they want all of the strings in a single place when
translating - what XLIFF tools are designed to provide. Unfortunately,
since it is a private format, no one is going to want to reverse
engineer the format.
Or, have I missed something?
I have filed a bug report - rdar://6577707
