EBML as custom game archive format

Hey list,

I'd like to ask if anyone has given any consideration into using EBML as
the basis for a game engine's custom game archive format. I'd be
interested in hearing other people's thoughts on this.

Some of the advantages I came up with,

* Enables extendability for future format changes

* Can contain arbitrary metadata on top of skeletal animation data,
geometry, textures, material shaders, scripts, and so on.

* As a single file containing other files, reduces file seek / open
times. This isn't really an advantage of EBML per se, but of any game
archive in general.
