Please tell me one sample of something that can be described with XML syntax
but not with SPF like syntax.
Currently SPF v1 is a superset of Microsoft's XML for CID. I can convert
Microsoft's XML to SPF ready to be processed by SPF implementations. But it
is not possible to convert all SPF records to XML so that they can be
processed by currently available CID implementations.

BTW. My offer to write an SPF to XML converter was a joke as a response to
an idea that I consider a joke.
