I don't think there is a need for such an extra format. Existing formats
like MIFF can easily cope with layered images and can easily be
extended (linearly) with additional metadata.
And surely if people want to read/write xcf and don't want to use GEGL
i'd firmly say it's their problem entirely. I mean, if people want to
read/write PNG without libpng it's their problem, too, and png was
designed as interchange format, while xcf is not, should not, and will
not.
