Must the WXR importer remain compatible with all possible WXR exports,
including those that aren't XML documents? If it must remain
compatible, then WP can never use an WXR importer, and WP will need to
stop claiming it is XML (as the de-facto standard will remain the
status-quo of it not always being). If it doesn't need to, it makes it
far easier for any other blogging software to write importers as they
can use out-of-the-box XML parsers and be compatible with WP (instead
of needing to write a parser of their own, which gets quite annoying
if you can't copy/paste the GPL WP code).
