Already have XML based document format
There already is an XML based WYSIWYG document format that does everything PDF does and more, the W3C's open standard, SVG.
SVG already works with all Windows programs.

gzipped XML highly efficient for graphics storage
2D graphics data expressed as XML can be highly efficiently gzipped.
You can see from these examples of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). The same documents in any other available 2D format are generally larger.
And yet, when ungzipped, these SVG files are verbose XML text. You can see that by right-clicking when you view any of those examples with Adobe viewer and selecting View Source.
SVG is a good example of how XML can be implemented efficiently over the wire (gzipped into efficient filesize) and yet accessed by the programmer at either end with no more than a text editor.

No, SVG is efficient
SVG supports gzip. SVGZ files are efficient because verbose, repititious text compresses well.
Look at the filesizes in these examples. Betcha can't make PDF files that small.

Re:So where's the SVG authoring apps?
SVGmaker creates static SVG from any Windows app. You just click File/Print in your app.

Like PDF but its XMLSVG is an image format that can faithfully reproduce a document display context, same like PDF but since SVG is XML you can mark it up by hand in a text editor, script it, transform it, integrate it directly with HTML or whatever you like. And no monopoly controls it.
This is a shameless plug but we are only 5 guys working out of a house, not a monopoly... (yet... ho ho ho). In the same way that Acrobat can generate PDF out of anything, SVGmaker can generate SVG out of Windows apps.
These are examples.

No, SVG is real nowThe 1.0 spec has been out for yonks already and there's an active SVG developer community out there.
Adobe has been distributing SVG viewer as part of the Acrobat 5 download for over a year now.
Nobody's waiting for Microsoft to innovate SVG or do their XDocs whatever thing; check these static examples generated from MS apps with SVGmaker: Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Project
For building SVG web applications its true that there aren't comprehensive IDE tools available yet, but that hasn't stopped developers from creating some definitive web apps with simple home grown tools (starting with a text editor since SVG is just XML).
Like this interactive logical diagram
Check this awesome mapping example
And this wonderful airport flight management app.

SVG + script = Enterprise web appAn SVG document can be UI for enterprise applications integration.
For example, start with this static picture generated from a CAD program.
add some simple polygons and script them to conform with some business logic. Connect to your enterprise applications and databases using various connectors (simulated here) and you get a UI component like this that integrates with HTML.
Click on components to select them.
Ctrl-Click to select a set of components. Move your mouse over the colored components to highlight data in the html table.
Type a number in at the top right [enter] to see if you have enough components available for manufacturing.
This example was coded by hand in a day and a half. Probably could do another one in 3 hours or so now we got the hang of it.

Re:svg-capable apps?SVGmaker generates SVG from standard Windows apps using File/print, like you do with Acrobat to make PDF.
But SVG is more compact. For example, this PowerPoint presentation is 140kb as compressed SVG, compared to the original PPT which was 950kb.

Re:SVG
4. SVGmaker works like Acrobat Distiller (it is a printer driver) but the output is SVG. Consumers can use it to create SVG files from Office apps. But... close your blinds and dim the lights lest the monopoly forces are watching through your window.

Re: "...will convert...PDF...to...SWF"Because more people have the flash pluggin than the Acrobat Reader.
oh?... 400m distribution doesn't cut it?
You'd have to ask what SWF brings to the party... maybe if it was openly searchable, transformable, interoperable or portable... but...??
Since V5 the Acrobat Reader install includes SVG viewer. SVG is an XML format.See the PowerPoint examples at SVGmaker:

... and SVG is efficient, supports gzip: 140kb PowerPoint SVG example made from a 950kb .ppt file-- SVG Evangelist
