It's human-readabale, goes over a variety of transports including IP (but also RS-232, RS-485, 1-wire, etc.), and deliberately isn't XML. The reason it's not XML is one of size, and therefore latency over the slow communication links. It's a community initiative rather than coming from a specific manufacturer or consortium. The Asterisk xAP-plugin is written by an independant developer rather than any of the original Asterisk team (go OpenSource!).
