Not really. It does not solve the problem of distributed storage, and it
still requires to store copies for the case of crash or other damage.
And it sounds as if the document increases it's size with every version.
E.g. if I have an embeded video of 2MB and some pictures of 1MB in a
document or presentation, does every older version occupy 3MB then?

Again: put 3MB of binaries into a flat XML. That's a nightmare. And some
of my impress presentations are around 20MB.

As far as I know they also treat documents as atomic binaries.
