As an update script runs only once this doesn't matter much. I can live 
with XML, but to be hinest I don't think that storing XML in a DB is a 
great idea. I know that XMLpath support has been added to some systems, 
but still I think the idea isn't so good and to me it's just a hype.

And as for your conversion concerns. a) I don't share them and think I 
could handle the upgrade well if I wanted to. b) TYPO3 should not waste 
resources and throw away speed gains because some updates are not easy. 
Why should TYPO3 provide an "instant update" to utf8?
