The format used internally in libsvn_wc will only be used in Subversion
1.6.X as conflict data doesn't have to be stored in entry files when we have
the sqlite store.

If I look at those, using skels and the svn protocol both require making
library local data serializers usable by other libraries, while those two
formats weren't designed to be used in our entry files. (And the entry file
format itself doesn't allow multiple fields of the same type on a single
entry).
I don't see why adding the temporary (very simple) serializer (that can be
moved as read only to the wc upgrade code after 1.7 introduces the new wc
store) would harm us here.
I would guess that opening up the skels or serializer for reuse outside
their libraries will give more maintenance in future releases, than just
using the code as is.
