From their standpoint it makes sense. They have a vested interest in making sure people can't cheat (as well as rip their stuff) so this is probably a totally different file format that no one can open or read (or create). If I was SOE I'd start migrating all of the zone files over time to something like this to break all of the third-party tools (including OpenZone) but maybe that's just me being paranoid.
