Is that correct ?
This is correct to an extent for the file in ~/Library/Application Support/OmniFocus. This allow us to write small changes rather than writing the entire file (with our changes mirroring the SQL operations that happen in the CoreData database). The backups that OmniFocus writes are fully flattened into a single XML file, however.
