The XML might be awful for viewing but I do wonder if it would diff better for storage? Git is awfully inefficient for storing binary data.

Not really, as there isn't a linearity or markup feel to the XML. Outside of straight text changes, formatting, rearranging, and internal markups, are not possible to 'visually' diff in the XML.
